Draker Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 There will be an update today! Waiting for Fedex to get here.. should be here soon. Jrock, I will probably have a bunch more stuff for you. What did you do with your front brakes with your setup? 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Damn.. Those look nice. Can you do that pattern with black and red? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just got these in the mail. All I need now is to get the correct LCA bushings. I ordered some from Rock Auto and this is what I got(Photo courtesy of Jrock): Ordered Moog K9170 bushings. Not sure what went wrong exactly.. but the ones that were in the box are clearly not correct. Working on exchanging these for the correct ones. My dumb ass threw out the boxes. In fairness I compared the bushings to the ones that were installed before I tossed them... I guess I eyeballed wrong. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 in all fairness the control arms were greasey as heck when i pressed them out ....had to tooth brush them clean before i pressed them.... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Why not go poly? I like mine so far. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Any squeaks? I don't want to have to think about lubing them up to keep them from making noise. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I used poly on my old wagon they were great. LOL any squeaks in a datsun! HA! my didnt make any noise that i noticed. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I dont have any squeaks. It came with some grease that I applied. Right now, there is nothing telling me I should not have put them in. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well that is good feedback. I will consider these if I can't get some sort of resolution with my current bushings. I've heard in other applications (Z32) they can be loud. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Also, I didn't realize this until now. I've got the first production set of these in the mail. Maybe I shouldn't install them... lol Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Check the bottom side of the box ....... Quote Link to comment
rusty12ver Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I ran into the same problem on those bushings. Out of 2 stores I found that only one store had one correct bushing. I had to order one from back east. I found that the box with the "yellow" stripe on top of the moog box is an older stock and the bushing will be in a plastic bag with a green label and it will say "made in japan". I had to explain all this to the parts guy over the phone and he was able to verify this before ordering. Apparently it's a "moog" issue. Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 did u look yet? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Not yet. Im at work and I took the box home. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I got a hold of Rock Auto. I just called them. They are going to send me another set for free. They said they would compare them to the photo and ship them out. So if they are wrong.. then I'll have 4 sets and out no extra cash. I could maybe just get a refund.. and call it a day. Then find them else where I guess. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Watch out mail man.. Its like a contract if it's written on the box. 1 Quote Link to comment
