So after attaching the spindle to the upper and lower arms, I cycled the suspension. 9.5 inches of travel. On full bump, the lower arm didn't even come close to hitting the factory bump stop bushings. I slid down the boot on the upper balljoint, and that is where the binding is happening. My droop seems fine, its just the up travel that has the problem.
For my previous suspension, I had notched the upper balljoint cups on one side almost to the edge to achive more down travel. (like the Downey Mega travel balljoints) They have held up fine for the last 30K miles. Am I stuck notching the other side of the balljoint cups to relieve the binding?
Is there a good high angle upper balljoint for a Toyota that doesn't run 350.00+?
Can anyone who has installed this kit shed some light as to what they did? How much travel you got when cycled.
An no, the steering linkage isn't even connected yet. I'm going to call Chaos tomorrow and see what they say.
Most likely I will notch the existing balljoints on the other side. No big deal, but kinda sucks for a bolt-on kit claiming 13"s with no 4x4. like I said, I only have 9.5 "s of travel right now. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance...
It's never too late to be what you might have been....
