I looked for a straight edge so you could see how much they bowed in. An allen wrench did the job fine to show the curve. I put the tab on top just to show...it wasn't going on w/out some bending back of the tab in place where it should have been first.

Those weld in's are going to keep that tab from breaking for sure...

Be sure to get the special tools you need from PQ an GTAHVIT

Been hearing a thunk for almost a year the same day the dealer changed my half axles. Been back to the dealer about 4 times trying to find it. They replaced the rear rotors and pads at my cost obviously and issue still remained. They thought it was the issue.

Yesterday I heard a loud snap noise and looked under the car after work. Funny how the noise I was experiencing when coming to stop totally disappeared. I think the guy working on my car to replace the axles did not tighten up the bolt enough, so that is why I immediately was hearing a thunk noise when coming to a stop 80% of the time.

Fe4 or should I get the bmr lower control arms? Occasional Road Coursing...maybe 6 during the winter and spring months.

Get the BMR arms, they are good stuff.

So this is what Pink's look like. It's an early build car. Not sure if we have to worry about it yet. But they don't look that bad.

Ok.

Ya, I went with Pete's weld on tab. Solid as a rock. I'd suggest the new arms and bar. The current designs is just bush.

I've got a set of BMR braces never used I'd let go pretty cheap.
