Banks Adjustable Rear Lower Links

(1/3) > >>

cazman:
Sorry for all the novis questions lately. I received my uprated springs and Adjustable Rear Lower Links from Banks. There were no instructions with the lower link kit. It is pretty straight forward except that there is a pretty good space between the inner rod end and the trans bracket. They did not supply any spacers, which is what seems to be called for, but where? Both sides equally or one in back and one in front? Seems like the wrong spacer in the wrong place would add stress.

So, does anyone have the Banks Adjustable Rear Lower Links?

BDA:
I think they expect you to fill that space with washers. Like you, I might have expected them to include some washers...

For racing applications (if your rules allow it) the better choice is a good quality spherical rod end.

cazman:
But where to put the washers?


The rules say no spherical rod ends unless used stock.

BDA:
Hardware store? Why didn’t they include some? Don’t know.

cazman:
I mean, the arm is bent not straight. So, Banks did some engineering. Putting washers to the rear of the rod end will move that end 1/2" forward. Putting washers to the front will do the opposite. I would rather not guess.
