Round 2: Spherical Front TCAB Interest

[Italianjoe1]

Let's do this again. After the first run i've had 2-3 people contact me asking when I will do this again. Let's see if we can get 4+ people interested so it's economically feasible.

Original group interest thread, with tons of info >>>

Assume $300/pair using new aftermarket arms, add more if you wanted the grease-able/removable ball joints as I did for Gimpster's set. Plus shipping. This is pretty solid pricing unless the cost of the parts changes greatly, which it shouldn't.

Nice review of the original batch by Blue Moon Sonic>>>

Post up in the thread if you are for sure down to buy, when I get enough bites i'd ask for a small paypal deposit to confirm, then I'll order and produce the parts and send them to you when I get full payment. Should be less than 2 weeks, including the time it takes for me to get the parts.

PM or text me at 305-975-4570 if you have any further questions or need any specific info. Thanks

Joe

[Italianjoe1]

Can I get 4-5 people confirmed?

 

[CorradoKev]

There’s got to be at least two more people out there that need lower control arms...

You 4, I can do it with 4 as long as I have a small deposit to ensure I actually sell them once I build them. That work for everybody?

Paypal to Italianjoe1@hotmail. Let's say $50, goes towards the final price obviously. Same as last time, I can do the ball joints if anybody wants, just let me know ahead of time. Once I get 4 confirmed people i'll order everything and get it done in a week or two.

 

[texsprsonic]

I'll do it today!

 

[2014 Blue RS]

Same. Today

Enlighten me on the ball joints please. I'm just at 45k and doing the PCV fix this weekend. Fun car to drive and great MPG but dang it they used the bottom of the barrel parts. Plastic control arm, etc..

 

[CorradoKev]

On it. I’ll do it in the a.m.

Ball joints as Gimpster did, he had me swap out the sealed ones that come with the arms for AC Delco bolt-in replacements that have a grease fitting. I don't feel it's necessary, but it's an option for those who want it.

I've got 3 deposits already, which is awesome, looks like I'll be placing another parts order this weekend. Feel free to share this on the FB group, i'm almost never on there.

I don't do the Facebook on my pc or phone. Tempted sometimes for the Sonic support tho. Sounds like I'll be fine. Not a known failing or cheapo plastic part.

Parts ordered yesterday, should be here by this weekend. Hoping to get some time Saturday to work on them. If all goes well, they could be ready to ship out next week. I'll keep you guys updated.

Is this the solution to the horrible wheel hop?

No. MPFab DRS is though.

 

[Italianjoe1]

Is this the solution to the horrible wheel hop?

It should, it did on the Cobalt ones. I don't race my Sonic like that but when this bushing gets weak, or if you have lots of power and big sticky tires even with a good bushing, it allows the wheel to move forwards and backwards in the wheelwell, causing the hopping when it skips back and then grips again.
