i just installed my ottp cabs here is my review and opion of them


tools requed to do the job
15mm socket
15mm wrench
16mm socket
i think a 19 or 20 mm for the carriage bolt
1/2 in drive impact
long 1/2in extension
hyd press to press out the rubber bushings and press in the new


1 crafstmanship nothing better period

2 ease of install any competent mech can remove both a-arms and press out the old cabs and install the new cabs and put both a-arms back on the car in an hour or less

3 packaging of the cabs typical

4 ottp costumer service best out there

the difference these bushings make in the sterring of the car is remarkable
the car feels more percise and agile the steering response is increased
my car no longer feels like a waterbed when you enter a turn you can brake later and accelerate sooner with less push i would recomend these to anyone from a dd to an autocrosser

 

Do you need a hydraulic press to get them in and out or can anyone do it with non power tools?

 

A vice should work.

 

When me and RedSSNA did his, we used our shops like 100 ton press something retarded like that. Big rig shops FTW.

 

i used a hyd press to do the job

 

great work!

 

thanks

 

yup. These are one of the best suspension mods I've done. Hydraulic press, Arbor press would work fine

 

will these end up wearing out over time? and if so how long do you think they will last

 

This is the only reason I havent gotten these yet.

Any idea on how durable they are?

 

I agree. I've been debating because of this. There seems to be no one who has had them for long enough to verify their durability. I don't want to deal with the problems the poly bushings had.

 

i doubt that they would wear out anytime soon they are a sealed unit it is a bearing inside the cab kinda like a hiems joint so like i said i doubt they would wear out anytime soon the car would probably rust away before these cabs go bad

 

4 years long enough for you?

 

uhhhh....seriously?

these are billet aluminum sealed spherical joints

OTT told me 100k minimum

 

Ok chill, other bushings for another platform have failed within a year I didn't want that on my DD.

I will be buying these very soon! Any vibs?

 

Seriously you need to chill. I haven't heard anything about them. But your infor from OTTP is helpful.

Just try not to be a dick.

 

Sorry guy, didn't mean to come off like that. These are a world of difference from stock or poly. I've had poly and driven a car with stock pieces.

It feels soooooo much better, and the front hangs like no other.

I'd recommend these to anyone.

 

none.
