yeah there a pain in the ass to deal with

 

I bent mine a couple months ago; I hit a curb at about 55mph and only bent it, must of been one hell of a hole.

$30 fix. I got a used one from Fusion who overnighted the hub. If you've done suspension work before it should only take you an hour or two. Nothing was hard at all. Had to use some WD-40 to loosen some bolts and the 31mm hub bolt won't be fun if you don't have an impact. If you run into any problems hit me up. That is if you do it on your own.

Sorry that happened.

 

yeah me and my dad are gonna do it. shouldnt take us long

 

yeah guys anyone know what you torque the bolts on the part where it attaches to the lower control arm>???

 

I just used a impact on med high setting. Maybe 80-100 ft lbs

 

yeah we got it all fixed up. but my tire is still leaning in a little. this would mean i need an alignment correct??

 

Anytime you mess with the suspension you "need" an alignment. I waited about 3k miles and had no uneven tire wear. But to answer your question, yes, you should get an alignment.

 

yeah i got one today they said it was off a good bit lol but i wish i knew someone to do these cuz once i get my suspension im gonna need another one

 

Yep. 40-50 bucks every time you mess with your suspension sucks. A couple companies do a set fee for life but you have to make sure they have a pit style set up.

 

Pit style? Sorry for the threadj ack, just wondering what/why?

 

me too lol what is it??

 

Pit style, like where you drive your car over a pit so you can work on it. Thus you can have zero ground clearance and no problems.

A lift/hoist needs the car to be a couple inches off the ground in order for the arms to get under. Then like ours, we have side skirts that can be damaged.

Most places that do alignments have a pit for lowered cars. Firestone had to replace both my side skirts when they tried to do my first alignment on my lowered Cavalier.

 

I was just in pittsburgh this weekend for the first time. my god, i can see how you did this. the roads are miserable. especially around southside etc. lol. wow.
