Rear is still in the works, still working out a few details in what is worth changing and correcting in geometry. I am in the process of the trailing arms with material on the way to knock out 10sets. That should show up this week, just in time with the 5 sets of uprights (4sets pre-sold in the little group buy) finishing up in the next couple days.
I'll probably do Front then Rear bundles but as is, its hard enough just keeping up with demand I have. Which is enough to work me 70+hrs per week with my normal job, but not enough to do it full time yet(*). That part is coming, but tied with wife finishing nursing school early 2020.
Posting these here because they just look SO good. Last I heard from Dallas 5 of the 10 sets are sold so there's only 5 left! Not sure when more may get made again but it's probably going to be a good while with everything else he has on his plate.
stupid question, do these trailing arms require boots for the balljoint?
Nope! There's not really room for dirt to intrude into the balljoint. Granted this isn't meant to last as long as an OE one would in road corrosion conditions. Worst case scenario, you have to spend $20 on a new bearing every couple years.
There are 2 schools of thought on boots for spherical bearings and rod ends. One is to add a boot to protect from elements, the other (which is what Aurora bearing white pages say) is to do nothing including do not lubricate. Any external oil or boot will only serve to keep dirt in and not wiped off through the motion with a tight fit. I was going to add boots to the front control arms long ago till I did more reading and chose to instead use a bit more of an economical bearing that you wouldnt care about replacing every couple years. Though so far I have yet to have a bearing wear out on my car.
Remember, these are race car parts and certainly require racecar maintenance. If you're putting spherical bearings in your DD, well thats quite hardcore of you
Just saw that. Added to the list!
