Okay so been putting off dealing with the suspension because because Ive had no serious wheeling trips planned but I'm definitely going to have to get it sorted now.
The upper control arm was coming into contact with the spring on full droop so I got a aftermarket set of upper control arms to stop this and get full travel of the new struts.
This opened up a can of worms.
First impressions were great! Did exactly what I intended. They no longer contact the spring and I Got 50mm more down travel
First drive however a few things became evident under compression the new upper control arms contact the remote reservoirs, This is no problem, an easy fix I'll just move the reservoirs to a better location. I was thinking about doing this anyway. Where have you guys got yours mounted??
next thing I noticed grease coming out of the inner cv boots around the inner seal.
Im guessing this is because they have been over extended?
On full droop the outer cv boot rubs on the shock mount on the lower control arms
I also noticed when trying to turn the wheel when its at full droop it spins freely for a bit the jams up and it kind of pops over something then spins freely for a little bit then does the same. Does anyone know whats happening here?
What are you guys doing to prevent this?
