You can tell if the bushings are bad. Torn, cracked, bits and pieces missing, etc.

 

And there's a reason people like ZZP changed to an automatic.

 

took a friend i think i narrowed it down to control arm bushing or ball joint

 

my clunk turned out to be the CAB, it literally fell apart when i took the control arm off.

 

Because race car?

 

Anybody know of upgraded axles or a place that has a nice price on replacements? **** I wish we had better aftermarket lol

 

tried to fix my clunking noise... thought it was sway bar endlinks but it isnt regardless they needed changed lol.. pretty sure its a ball joint.. also tried to adjust the wastegate but i didnt have a swivel socket for the position the nut is in..

 

Does the clunking accelerate when you do? My car has the same problem. Put the car on stands and pull on the top and bottom of the wheel. If there is play its a bearing. Pull on the axles if there's play+a noise it could also be them. I don't want to replace this ****....

 

i just replaced a wheel hub last week as i thought thatw hat it was.. mostly does it when i hit a bump or when i hit boost and let off at 3k

 

zzp has stage 1 axles or driveshaft shop has some but they're like 800 bones

 

Sounds like my cab bushing from what I read ... How long to swap em ?

 

Zzp axles are for an f35...which sucks


I stand corrected... Looks like I'll be ordering those very soon

 

it's easier to just get the fe5 control arms and swap out the whole thing. maybe half an hour each side if you work slow like me lol

 

yeah its probably you cabs...they're a common thing to replace on cobalts....cavaliers have the same problem but worse lol

 

just got em think i can change both before 11 am? lol

 

If you have the right tools its possible to get it done pretty fast...

have a press? if not 11am is not gonna happen

 

any of you guys own Honda Ruckus'?

also i was thinking of getting a rear sway bar, someone nearby has a used TTR rear for sale. is it any good? how much is a new Powell one, thanks

 

already got one pressed in its a bitch to put back.. the axle slide out will it pop in when i tighten?

 

I want to get a ruckus lol or just get a real bike i suppose. I'm going to sturgis this year with my step dad's harley

 

lol im trying to convince my parents but they are so set on the fact that they arent safe. theyre not scared of me doing anything stupid, theyre just scared of other drivers ramming into me. im gonna get one, but i just gotta wait. either i convince them or if one pops up that i cant deny, might have to disappoint someone lol.

also, on a side note: still wondering how much a powell rear sway bar is and how much better it is than TTR. im not looking for extreme handling but just a little bit better.

also, has anyone painted their stock interior panels? i was thinking of doing the black interior spray that you can pick up at autozone. any suggestions?

 

I used graphite wheel paint for my interior pieces.It matches my wheels.clear coated too.Looks pretty darn good.

 

Yea that was my main concern. I cant control my shifts, and harder to spool.

 

That was another reason why, cheaper and its just fun to play around with.

 

Ninja post.

 

I need to look into more zzp stuff.

hey I'm not far from you. I go to VCU
