Would this work? No one makes a kit for my car and I only have a reciprocating saw plus a drill.
>>
>>28600120
Two things you don't nigger rig on a car:
1. Brakes
2. Steering
Nigger rig anything else to your heart's content, but not those. You stupid stancefag.
>>
>>28600120

I don't know if it will work, but God bless you for trying.
>>
>>28600120
Bump steer kits tend to artificially level the steering rack, just find extended tie rod ends that fit the thread pitch.
>>
Its not really nigger rigged but I do know what you mean. All of the kits that you can buy are the same thing pretty much. Its a anodized aluminum spacer 10-30mm that sits in between the arm and ball joint. My spacers would be forged steel made from ball joints. Give me some technical bullshit as to why it wont work.
>>
>>28600165
Ive seen some universal sets like you are talking about but they are around $100 each and i know its like $10 in parts
>>
>>28600139
Stance fags dont try to correct suspension geometry or design their own parts.tell us some more how you are a racelet

Moving your ball joints changes the roll centers and will make bump steer worse anon.
Bump steer can be fixed by moving the outer toe rods, or lowering the rack and pinion.
The tie rod length changes bump as well, but you have less control over that due to alignment specs.
>>
>>28600527
>typical retard doesn't read the thread
>>
>>28600534
OP is asking about bumpsteer correction.
Moving the ball joint up will make that worse, not better.
Perhaps you didn't read the thread?

.t has set bump steer on multiple race cars.
>>
>>28600572
>Moving the ball joint up will make that worse, not better.

except he's lowered the whole car and now the tie rods need angle correction you fucking microdick retard
read the fucking thread
>>
should it be mounted where the tie rod meets the knuckle instead of elevating the whole wheel?

Ive found that the spacer wont work. I need an extended ball joint or a ball joint extender. preferably the extended ball joint and maybe I can get lucky by flipping the tie rods like in the old VW's.
>>
>>28600583
Yeah exactly. I will need to adjust both if possible. I should have actually named the thread How to adjust roll center or some shit like that

My next idea is to figure out which cars have a kit with 45mm press in ball joints. and the same size shaft. None of the correction kits list sizes. Can you rebuild a ball joint? Replacing the shaft with a longer one would save alot of headache.
>>
>>28600583
You cannot fix a bumpsteer with a ball joint spacer anon.

Have you ever set bump steer before?
It doesn't sound like you have.
>>
>>28600700
don't most people fix bumpsteer by just lowering the tierod with spacers?
>>
>>28600120
lmao retard
Your roll centre is a straight line between the two pivot points of your LCA - the actual shape of the LCA doesn't matter two fucks.

>>28600755
anon thank you for the diagram of your ass worms. I hear that ivermectin may cure your jewishness and homosexuality
>>
>>28600702
Ya that's the easiest way.
Doesn't get bumpsteer perfect, but close enough.
You really need to lower or raise the rack and pinion to get it all perfect.
But OEM cars have no provisions for that usually.
Easy on a Stock Car, not on a production car
>>
>>28600815
Wow I've never seen someone so salty about being proven to be completely fucking retarded lmao
>>
>>28600837
I dont think the rack can shimmed or moved without major custom work. It doesnt even really bump steer that bad to where its un drivable or unsafe. I just want it to be as proper as possible .
>>
>>28600669
I'll give you a longer shaft
>>

>>
>>28600875
You might be able to shim the rack down maybe 1/8in.
But ya, it's mostly gonna be limited to outer tie rod adjustments on most cars

>>28600855
Not that anon, but the RC in your Pic would only applicable to a panhard bar on an axle.
Front suspension RC is like pic related.
>>
>>28600900
See how there's lines which go through the control arms retard-kun?
Those lines are between the two pivot points, the shape of the metal which joins those two pivot points is irrelevant.
>>
>>28600940
Your picture was of a single straight and one worm like bar.
No front suspension component is like that
My comment stands.
The only retarded one here is you pretending.

Back to Redd*it with you.
>>
>>28600992
That's the point retardkun - even a crazy worm LCA that does a loop-de-loop has EXACTLY THE SAME roll centre line as a straight one because the pivots are in the exact same place.
OP wants to turn his control arm into a funny shaped control arm, but the pivots will remain the same.
>>
>>28600894
silence jew. you dont even drive. hanging off the side of a ford in your dirty long coat that smells like ass and armpits doesnt count

I have a tig.Id spend alot more in tubing and bushings vs finding a taller ball joint and tie rod end
>>
>>28601544
>actually changed the position of the ball joint in relation to the tyre
Nah this won't work m8, the only thing that matters is how sloped the metal is on your control arm.

Theres still time for you to accept Jesus and repent, jude.

Found that evo 7 ball joints are the same size as my car. The front control arm bushings are also the same. I think now my only option would be a heim joint for a tie rod but would have to drill the knuckle out from 10 mm to like 5/8. I dont now if there is enough meat on the knuckle to be safe that way.
>>

>>28600837
It gets it oerfect if you have spacers that match your drop. A generic kit will of course be slightly off.

I have heim joints tie rod ends with 3 different sized shims/spacers stacked to match the factory angle.
>>
>>28600120
What kind of rentalspec shitbox has a ball joint that is bolted to the LCA with 3 tiny little bolts.

Did you have to drill the knuckle for your heims? My tie rod has something like a 10mm shaft with a larger taper at the bottom. All of the heim kits/ sizes ive seen require drilling the knuckle to 5/8 to accept the bolt. I honestly doubt any of these "roll center kits" bring the roll center back to factory. its probably close but not exact.
>>
>>28604974
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet?

No modifications to existing components, complete bolt-on kit.

Nice,I should just buy a honda instead of pulling old hotrod tricks mix matching parts. Its pointless to do the ball joints without being able to move the tie rods. Most cars are start at 12 mm shaft tie rods and the only 10 mm that I can find are for quads and polaris 4x4 off road carts. I dont trust those.
