Hello all,
Just took off the pasenger side A Arm, and was wondering If there is a write up on the install of the White Line Roll center kit? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

 

I strongly recommend you get this done by a pro.
The reason for this is you need to re-toe the front properly.
Also, do you have a press to press out the stock balljoints?
If not....you really need one.

I tried doing this myself about 2 weeks ago but I ended up taking it to a shop to
get it done.
It looks like it's a fairly simple job if you have a press but it will be very time consuming.

Good luck with it man.

 

The instructions are there you just need a special tool to get the new ball joints in pm me for info.

 

I just finished w/ mine last weekend and you will not be able to do this w/out a press...I too had to take it to a machine shop to press out the old and in w/ the new. closes the alluminum around the bottom of the ball joint.g/l

 

Biting the bullet and taking it to a machine shop to press!

 

Robi also sells these already pressed, ready to mount. I believe with or without core, depending if you want to keep your original Arms.

 

does anyone have any more info on this?

after my coilover install and lowering the car, I lost the sharp turn in that the factory suspension had. will this kit restore the turn in to near factory?

 

I put this kit in and it actually made a difference, much less roll. I'd recommend it for sure.

 

so if i have eibach lowering springs that lowered the car 1.5 all around, i should get this for the front and rear?

 

It's only for the front, there's no roll center correction kit for the rear(bump steer kit is something else).

For the O.P, beside needing a press for the ball joints, the only other thing to watch out for on reinstall is the bolt slots on the joints end because if they are not aligned you will destroy the bolts.

 

ok my bad, but to answer my question. for only a 1.5 drop do i still need it

 

No, but the WL steering precision kit should in theory (I have not tried it).

 

Yes, because any lowering changes the geometry for the worse; the kit itself works even on stock evo and is one of the best mods handling wise.

 

I thought i knew a bit about suspension till I spoke with robert fuller (robispec)I then realized that even knowing what I know, i know nothing. My head actually hurt from trying to retain everythign that was being said. Robert recommends it highly. He gave me a very elaborate explanation how lowering the car messes up the geometry, and how adding the roll center kit is actually very very important. Dont ask me to re-iterate. just know that it will make the car turn again after lowering it.

 

i jus had the roll centre adj and bumpsteer kits fixed up on my e9. there's indeed a noticable improvement on the handling of the car. however, i get squeaking noises at slow speeds as the car bounces and during steering. it's almost unbearable esp with your windows up and radio off. anyone of you guys with these kits have such squeaking noises??
