Suspension parts I.D.

[dat260]

Hi,

I need anybody's help.

I bought a box full of suspension racing part and I found these. Picture attached

Can someone identify these.

Cheers,

Those are spherical bearings, cups, sleeves, and spacers that go into the front lower control arm replacing the stock bushing.

Hi John,

Thank you for the reply. Tha box was full of Carrera stuff, coil-overs, these ,camberplates and four shocks.

Would you know in what order they assemble?

Without measuring with my calipers, my guess would be:

From the front of the car: short spacer, short cup, spherical bearing, long cup, long spacer, and the sleeves go in the bearing and around the bolt.

This only a guess from a picture on the internet so if you assemble these parts and die, tough luck.

So that means you are not confident with that order. If you were to install them what order would you do it?

[John Coffey]

No, I'm not confident of your abilities to install them correctly.

Thats why I was glad you replied. A novice like me would follow your expertise.

Just be careful and measure everything with a set of calipers. The fit needs to be tight to keep movement from pounding out the bearings or the cups. I'm also not sure from the picture how the bearings are captured by the cups. Is everything a press fit in the lower control arm or are c-clips required?

Its all press fit. I assembled it in the order you mentioned and all the pieces fitsperfectly. Would you know the value of this kit?

Thanks again gor your time,

It looks like a Design Products Racing kit. Their web site is down so I can't see the price.
