Hi Guys,
I've been working with Mark and Matt at 914 Rubber over the past few weeks to refine the installation process and shoot a video for their a-arm bushing kit. Happy to report that it's finally ready for primetime! Shout outs to Bruce and Cary for all their contributions as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AysZlHr2lM And here's a video on how I removed the a-arms and bushings using a press and heat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa-apYYIjlg Coming soon... – 914 Rubber master cylinder install – "Bench" bleeding in the car – 914 Rubber Rebuilt steering rack with turbo tie rods – Front wheel bearing replacement Hope you enjoy my videos. Just trying to give back to this amazing community. Apologies in advance for worsening the addiction. Have fun with all the innuendo. Can't wait to read the comments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Ian |

Thanks! I blasted and painted the arms. Mark makes a good point that it's way easier to touch up paint than powder coat. And it's likely that stones, etc. will chip whatever is on there. If you do powder coat, make sure you don't use it on the bushing area, as it's tight enough as it is. Powder coat is generally much thicker than paint.
Full disclosure...I used two sets of arms in these videos. If you look closely, you'll see that the ones I took off my car didn't have sway bar brackets. Another member here graciously gave me a set that did, and those are the ones I painted and used for the install video. |
