I have cut to the right length(same as original) and put together all the parts for the lateral link.
I will have to drill some holes through the pipe, where the "nut" are, to be able to weld it through those holes as well, for more strength.
Need to grind some chamfers, for the welding and they are off to the welder.
I'm leaving 2 x 1/2" threaded area for adjustment. Hopefully, it will be good enough. Anything less than 2 degrees, it should be better.
I ordered my mount on Saturday. I got the 70 because the vibes from the 80 would be too much for the wife when she drives the car.
I sent you a message on Facebook. I'm away from the house right now but will follow up shortly.How did you go about installing this? I'm a little pissed because with the awd you cant just slide the mount out because the rear diff is right above it. I'm thinking I may need to lower the subframe, which I really don't want to do. The instructions didn't mention this and ofc it showed the fwd version. Fwiw, I had the car on a ramp lift, but it seems that even on a 4 point with the suspension down it wont matter. I could be wrong but I had to leave for a flight so I didn't try it.
I'm guessing you are "N.B."? Thanks.I sent you a message on Facebook. I'm away from the house right now but will follow up shortly.
One side is left thread and the other is right thread, so by adjusting the center hex, the arm will shorten or extend.Looks good tibimakai [emoji106]. Some questions- where is the parts list? What is the inner silver area, a machined part of the arm? What's the purpose of it? The threaded inner bolt- each side of the thread are going the opposite way, yes? It will need to be to lengthen or shorten the arm.

I'm going to try again tomorrowDid you get a chance to try again on the mount? I didn't have any issue getting the old one out, but it took us a while to get the new one in because of how much the motor shifted without that rear mount in. Because I used ramps in my driveway, I ended up having to use a piece of wood placed vertically on the jack to lift the engine back up far enough to slide the bolt back in. I did not have to remove any other parts though. The only thing I took off the car for this was the plastic cladding underneath.

In my case, I have to shorten it, since this arm is at the bottom.
