I use a frame stiffening kit from now long defunct XV Motorsports. I believe one of their employees revived the company but I don't know if they still offer that kit. All; I know is the car handles very well. I am sure not wouldn't be as nice without it.
I DID have issues with the rear upper...
There is a 1 3/4" crossbar that is welded very securely to the rear frame rails. The upper shock mount pivot supports screw into this bar very near where the original stock shock mounts were.
Did not have to cut anything as I recall. Just lined it up and instead of just bolting into the holes (which lined up nice) we welded it in.
I agree with 69b3rt, it is a lousy design and the overwhelming majority of the rear is supported by the shock/spring assy. They could have at least...
I DO like this suspension. I have NOT been easy on it either. I have quite a few miles on it since done. Twice I have had it on a 2 1/2 mile road course. On the way to that course (appx 400 miles one way) there are a couple of awesome country winding twisting hilly roads we obliterate on the...
This was the fix. Since these mounting studs are NOT hardened, we bought 3 1/2" hardened bolts and created a mounting support bracket to spread the load. Time will tell if it is better. Pretty piss poor design really, as you can see, the other one was about half way sheared as well.
Hard to get...
Some of you know I installed a Ride Tech 4 link rear suspension in my GTX. I got this as a pkg along with my AlterKtion. After 14,600 miles this happened
I do not recall there being that option when I bought mine. I absolutely LOVE the way the car handles. I am not av racer so I did not build the car for that purpose. I have had it at the track and made only one run...14.05. I have had the car on a closed circuit road course 2 1/2 miles long...
Discovered a lock nut on the driver side upper control arm had come loose along with one other very loose bolt holding my custom fabbed brake calipers in place. went thru the entire undercarriage and touched every bolt with a wrench. Put locktite on direct bolt ins, repacked bearings and lubed...
Some of you know I installed an alterktion on my GTX build along with the 4 link from them as well.
From the get go there has been a "rattling" noise that is driving me nuts. It appears to be coming from the left front area. It could be something in my steering linkage but I have torn it
apart...
Clutch type. It never made any noise until around 5000 miles in. Then it started clunking when I made right hand turns. We put two bottles in when we reassembled the rear axle assembly as instructed.
A while back I posted about the urethane bushings in my Street Lynx 4 link. They sent me new bushings ...free... I replaced them and I kept hearing grinding noises when turning at slow speeds. We re-positioned the mount tabs on the axle for the upper bars after loosening them and hooking the...
According to the folks at Ride Tech in the late 07-early08 time frame ( when I bought the 4 link from RMS) they had a bad supplier . This supplier used what THEY called "powder metal" for the sleeve. They resolved that issue and have not had a problem since. They are sending me FREE replacements!!
BEAUTIFUL car Bro! Sorry to hear of your problem, sounds like the adjustment idea should be the fix. I have not seen this but I spoke with a guy who told a similar story and his fix was the adjustment.
