Default RE: Drop!!

If you are concerned with the upper ball joint then get some heavy duty Moog ball joints intalled. I sent my upper control arms to John at OpenTracker Racing and he installed them for me. He also did some other stuff to the UCA's for me as well. You should be just fine with stock ball joints (as long as they are in good condition - if you doubt their ability to function then by all means replace them.) as long as you only drop the UCA by 1". (You can go farther than 1" but I don't think it is necessary and you also get into more issues by doing so - if you are a hard core track racer then it would be worth looking into probably...)

Default Is that what I have to look forward to?

ORIGINAL: Soaring

I ALWAYS lose a damn nut or bolt or some part and spend hours crawling around with my reading glasses on trying to locate. All right.....no smart assed remarks about my eyesight because of my age.
. . . said the almost-old guy who finally went up 3/4 diopter on his own reading glasses just this past weekend. . .

Sorry. Glen, I simply couldn't pass the opportunity up no matter how hard I tried.

the rain opened up, and all my nuts and bolts started washing down the street.
Do you live on a slope in the rain forest? Is it the Monsoon Season? Use wooden nut and bolts?
No, Texas! It rained heavily nearly every day in June in many parts of Texas.
