That's right, another CTP bad to the bone product!!. Finally a solution to stiffen up the rear of these rides for both the LX and LC line up that will not require changing all the other bushes. These units are 100% plug and play with no modification to the subframes or existing control arm bushes. They will allow complete adjustability that mimics the stock bush for alignment. So you're asking well hey dumbass what will these things do for me??. We'll let me tell ya. The drag racer: Significantly reduce shock loading of the subframe at launch. Testing will be conducted in the next couple of weeks to show what gains can be expected. The road racer or weekend moutian carver: So you think your ride is nice and stiff with the rear strut bar. Well I got news for you, ya've never felt anything like this. What can be expected is a ride simular to a poly urathene equiped car at 1/3 the expense. The six speed Challengers. Well guys after spending over a couple hundred hours developing these units. I feel very safe saying this will solve the axle hop issues you experience and testing will be conducted shortly to prove this theory. So stay tuned. Well guys, I'll stop boring ya with propaganda and show you what I created from an idea that started from a request by our very own Hemi31. Since the inception he and I have worked on creating a solution to a problem you didn't even know you had. Also for the time being until after I'm past Spring Festival and Mopars on the Strip. Please direct all questions to Hemi31 as he'll be covering for me in my absense. Installation can be completed by your average weekend wrench with basic tools without the need for a press. These use the stock subframe bolts. Final pricing has not been set but I expect these to be under $600.00.
Where the hell were you three months....and $3,000 ago? LOL If you knew about this then and didn't tell me....I'LL KILL YA!! LMAO
Thanks Ronnie Done deal, anything for a fellow Okey (I used to live in Bethany) :friends: Ya, well, huh.......... :sweat::sweat::sweat: Sorry Rick, Erik and I have been thinking about these for months. Problem #1, how to make them adjustable. Once that was done, now oh crap, how do I make a pressed in bush fit a none concentric hole. That was ruff.
Dropped the rear cradle this afternoon. Going to install a new cradle with CTP solid aluminum bushings. After 100k miles of beatings,200 or so dyno pulls,400-500 1/4 mile passes and some road course action I am happy to say I had only one bad cradle bushing....and it really isn't that bad.....I guess the sky isn't falling after all. And the bad one Cams new bushings are awesome..... More to come tomorrow after I clean up this mess.
OK.....car came off the lift today and took it for a quick run around the block. There is no extra noise. None. Car sounds the same as before. There is no harshness either. You can tell it's stiffer but it doesn't ride rough. I have a very sight vibration which I am 100% sure will go away with the alignment Tuesday as the toe is way out on the rear wheels,and the cradle needs to be centered.....the cradle being centered is very important with the ujointed drive shaft. There are no rubber couplers to make up for it being a little out. On hard acceleration there is no cradle movement(the main reason for these).Can't wait to try this out on the track.So far I am pleased.
Cam/Erik so this will solve the wheel hop issues for the 6 speeds? What is involved in installation? I am very interested in this ASAP!!
Alignment is done and the little vibration is gone. The car feels great. The road noise is no more than I had before the bushings. I will have it on the track for VMP so a nice 1200 mile round trip drive and a serious beating on the race track should tell us everything we wanted to know.
