Hi
Great work, you could eat your dinner of that suspension. You have used a flip kit on your outside tie rods, did you get have any problems? In the past I have seen threads saying that the tie rod would hit the sway bar if you fitted a flip kit to a 2 bolt car. I'm looking into doing this with my other 1303 which has shorter struts and I cant see them hitting at all. Steve |
Wow thats lush! Must get my hubs pacified like that..

Hi
the car has done a few miles only with the old engine, as i'm preparing the new engine. Had no problems at all (no noise, no scrubing or signs of contact on the the tie rods or the sway bar). The only contact point between them appears when the car is on the air (suspension full extended as appears on the photos) and you come close to full lock at both sides, case that I beleive is a little bit dificult to be realized on the street. Friendly Dimitrios |
What is that damper on the rack? I have never seen this on ant Beetle rack.

So the dampener. Does that really help all that much? I would think it may provide to much resistance for the rack an pinion mabey wear it and the bearings in it out faster.
