UAS ADJUSTABLE TOP FRONT ARMS

So with Urethane bushes in the stock radius rods

won't work with these new arms? I have a daily driven zed, no track use. Just the occasional Drag strip use. Rose jointed radius rods a must JP? Cheers

Yes would need or suggest adjustable rose jointed radius rods. As I mentioned it is more of a problem with added caster and camber although plenty of rad cars with stock caster flog out facotry bushes and Noltec ones. Midori and Midori copies etc although much less of a problem. R32 GTR's are worse as similar set up to Z32 although with added load of front wheel drive and they flog out top front arms also.

Front end felt great at Phillip Island and had great feel throuh the steering wheel and felt firm, and certainly under a lot load G force wise, although I did not hit ripple strips like I have done at Oran Park and Wakefield with these arms many times. As I menioned I had all sort of problems with arms and bushes flogging out and arms twisting lose with all the other type arms on the market previous. Hitting ripple strips at up to 220ks an hour oftne on a slide and angle is very harsh on suspension.

If you have a race car these are a must sooner or later or will keep flogging out arms and have play in front end. Road cars get away with it as not harsh loads and high speed hitting although plenty of road cars come in for service with worn out upper front arms.

Lastly there are plenty of cars with ball bearing top arms and rose jointed radius rods and no rel noticeable vibration or harshness in frotn end. I would rather a tight front end for feel and positive firm handling anyway.
