Yes that would be me. I can't wait.

Energy sales the knuckle bushings?

So are you saying that you do not have any movement to the arm. Do you still have the same oem knuckle bushing?

I believe that the end could be modified to match the exact same size spherical shape as the oem arms and you could just use ES ploy control arm traction arm replacement bushings.

Well that makes since to me. Some of this stuff is fairly new to me but I have been learning a lot within the 2 years that I've owned it. I will talk to Wes about it. I'm sure he can make it happen for me. ---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------...

Yeah I have ES bushings for the rear and they will work for the stock control arm but because of the heim joint design vs. the oem spherical design they will not fit Wes's control arms. ---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ---------- Is there anything...

I agree they are alike in the since that they both allow up in down movement which you want in the control arm. However, the heim joint also allows left to right movement because the joint its self is a sphere which you don't want it to do.

Just to clarify you need a spherical bushing here. I may be confused. Just want make sure I know what I'm talking about when I talk to him about this. [/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] Also would this same idea apply to the traction arm or just the control arm.

Got you. So what do think is going to be the best fix for this issue. Talk to Wes about redesigning the heim joint end or buy new bushings for the knuckle?

You have the knuckle bushing for the control arm if so how much? Is it the 42210 part number. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/catalog.aspx?F=4804&P=1 ---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ---------- The weird thing is the traction arm...

I understand that its a bushing and its going to move but if you look at the design of the stock control arm with how its wedged in the subframe with a bushing and with a U shaped end, once its tightened it will not move like that. I think that the problem is that you have a heim joint on one...

I'm really just trying to figure out what needs to be fixed here. The bushing or the control arm.

So are you saying that having the ability to move side to side like that is not a good thing. What would you suggest? Why would the traction arm not move like that and the control does and there the same design. Heim on one end and U shape joint on the other end?

Ok so I'm in the process of restoring my 88 turbo and I am starting to reassemble the rear subframe. I recently purchased rear control arms, traction arms, and tow arms from Wes at Beech Performance. The issue that I'm having is that the lower control arm has a wiggle to it. I can grab it with...

I will diffidently let you know. Yeah Tyler's car is coming right along as well. I should end it having a fun street car to. Right now all the machine work has been completed by Alt & James. .20 Weisco pistons, Eagle rods, Clevite bearings, arp hardware, Seth's long runner ffim, hks long runner...

I did not remove the old undercoat. I went around and cleaned it as good as I possibly could. As for the rust it was all surface rust. The car was from the south so it was in pretty good condition for its age. I just went around with a wire brush wheel removed the surface rust from the area...

Well from the factory Toyota actually uses a stitch weld throughout the subframe so I want to believe that this was done to allow the subframe to flex but I'm not sure. I actually went around the entire subframe and reinforced it with some stitch welds. No additional bracing. 89+ has additional...
