I'm going to see myself out of this convo now, like everyone else has. Everyone seems to be on the same page about this except you, and if what's already been said here isn't registering for you then there's nothing more I can say to convince you otherwise. I like you, not too snotty. Not sure what youre talking about tho. That example is the most popular "Rod End in Bending" in the FSAE world. you're telling me you're better than the judges who will "fail" anyone who uses rod ends in this manner? can you all get on the same page if youre going to tag team. please Did you look at "the math"? Dallas spent time determining what force a section of the arm is getting. Maybe he's focused on the Momentum/STM units. I wasn't so the "break" is in different points, which is a big miscommunication especially taking about very simple machines called "levers". My car will not see a 2" compression or else something else will break, but sure let's consider his scenario. Like I said, double it I dont care, I just want to know what amount of force will bend an m16 stainless steel threaded rod, then I would like to know what breaks the bigger threaded rod on the GSP unit. It took me a bit to process his concern tho, i wasnt sure what type of failure is concerning. will it happen in reality? I have a degree in Engineering, In Electronics tho but we have taken courses in all types of engineering. Including Engineering Ethics btw. I'm not an "engineer" because I didnt take the board exam. I.T. is where the easy money is so I just used my degree to open doors. A lot of people wont agree, I thought engineering is full of shiet when I was in college. I mean why do we need all that math to find out if it burns up/crack/bend/fits? In reality, Joe Shmoe will just need a higher gage wire/better concrete/stronger thicker bolt/bigger box. Even the dang FS people suggest a bigger REIB is FINE dammit lol. it's not rocket science I am not trolling, but if thats what it looks like, fine. I am ESL and I am elated I figured out "threads in bending". I have not encountered this phrase before and took me a while to even google this mystery (to me). "Threads on a lever" jeesus |

I just wanted to bring this to light. I never understood probably because a lack of deep technical knowledge, but I've always seen heim or spherical bearings radially loaded in off road racing like Baja and so on, but axially loaded in power sports. Ie snowmobiles, quads, etc . . . Are they technically different joints? Different coverage of the hemisphere ?

Austin have you got a website or something with all your goodies listed on them?

I'm going to be dividing my attention between Honda and Evo parts but all the stuff I already offer along with a few things I haven't teased yet will be on the site when it launches :) |
rockauto also jacked up the price of the rear left, randomly. going over to my buddy's tonight to give one last shot at pulling the rear sensors out. if not, i think i'm gonna go with the $30 "economy" sensors and roll the dice i guess. if one ends up bad, how will i know which one it is? will there be a CEL? or do I need to do it by process of elimination?

Good example is HKS spark plugs are just NGK plugs with HKS stamped on them and twice the price lol. also one to look at especially if your lowering the car with the new uprights is to re route the looms inside the front guards above the wheel. When you lower the car you can hit these looms over bumps and wear through the cable for the sensor, this is quite a common failure ive seen on evos which have been lowered and then tracked. |

Soon! My business partners and I just recently talked to a website builder about it so hoping to have something in the next month or so. Earlier today I got our FB page rolling: https://www.facebook.com/WunderladenRacing

It tells you which sensor is bad. Ive run the cheap ones for years been fine. Just because something is more expensive doesnt make it better than the cheaper option every time. most of that stuff comes from the same place and is rebranded.

here's a pic. I am working on my ACD relocation so there's an extra loom there

Youd be surprised how much travel you get if your loaded through a corner and hit a bump or something. Its not something you can test by just jacking the wheel up |
