DougH's posted issues with this. I am seeing some of the same with the upper A arms. As far as I know we are the only ones going with the ball joint flip. Doug, I believe you also said you are using a very hard shock up front as well...

Could the damage being inflicted on the A arm bolts, shaft, loosening of shims, etc be due not only to the change in geometry with a a cranked Tbar and BJ flip, but even more so because of the very hard shocks?

I'll vouch the front end on mine hardly feels good for the car. The KYB Monomax's as I've posted in another thread are impossible to compress - unless you put all your weight on them and twist them - and at that rate progress is very slow. With such a lack of absorption my new theory is all that shock is going directly to the Upper A arm, bending the bolts, bending the pivot shaft on the drivers side, and perhaps in Doug's case, knocking loose the shims.

Am I onto something or on something <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey, I'm just looking for a rational reason to get those shocks off and slap on some Rancho 9000's. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />
