What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

[Tri-bar]

Wheel rates might be about 255 vs 330 or so. Sometimes I get a little clunk when I go from forward to reverse and vice-versa once I get rolling. I couldn't think of a way to prevent it with heim joints on both ends. I assumed mine are just hitting the limit of rotation when it does that. I'll look closer next time I'm under the car.

Well. My death rattle is still there. Only thing I can think of now is shock mount bearings. I have checked them, they don't seem loose.

Sounds like something loose or worn. Maybe put a thread up in the tech/suspension area for more ideas and suggestions. Or call CorteX.

Waiting for a call back from Cortex. Tech forum will be my next move.

You mean contact with the shock body and upper coilover mount?

275s are a tight stretch on the 18x11 wheels:

STANCE!

 

[Grant 302]

Yeah, that's *me* all right!









Next, I'm gonna massively camber my rear axle using a 3 ton cable hoist.

 

[Fabman]

yup

I checked, mines clear.

Center pivot on the watts was loose, pulled it all apart, cleaned it, re-greased it, replaced the rod ends with good ones, Put it all back together and torqued it all down to spec. Got the pivot to sit straight up and down with equal arm length. Wheels are centered. That's really is a pain.

 

[Grant 302]

Loose it was! Glad you found it!

Just replaced my front left side sway bar end link with the Watson Racing adjustable one. Ordered the Moog non-adjustable for the right.

 

[Grant 302]

Smart. You only need one side to be adjustable!

Re installed my 22mm rear bar....hoping this will help hook the front back up without some detrimental side effects.

Newb question(s)...why have an adjustable, and what are the tuning fundamentals of this part? Also, is there a part #? Not seeing it on Watson's site.

One adjustable link on your front swaybar is all you need to adjust pre-load on your race car and compensate for driver weight.

 

[Big Black]

Gotcha, thanks for the link. Won't bother with it until I scale the car, not sure when that'll be...coil overs, probably.

Finally got the Apex 18x11s on:

Still lots of this coming off the car:
