Got my KYB bump stops in today and wasn't real happy with them, they weren't a direct replacement like they were sold as
Hole was too small
Too small to stay in cup
But I drilled them out a little and they didn't fit that badly, they actually look pretty decent
Got both sides put on, now...
Yeah it's been posted on FB like 6 times in the last week... We got it, dealership has a brand new Supra... End rant
In other news: I'm done polishing as of 2am
Dropped them off at powder coater this morning. They aren't perfect, but it think they will work for being 25 year old wheels
Just installed the spring isolators and they worked awesome. Anybody have any feedback on long term use?
Also, I just used the Moog bumpstops available at O'Riellys for like $17 each, and they are a really nice piece.
Yeah I smashed my hand pretty good today trying to pull it out earlier, then I figured the whole push the head end of the bolt up thing and it became a really easy job after that. Right up until I figured out my brake line was on the wrong side :/
I just dealt with this today lol, try pushing the long bolt up a couple inches, it will slide over the reservoir so that it will come out far enough to pull the arm
Finally got my front shocks and springs installed today
This was the part I was waiting on, stupid spring isolator
I didn't want to replace it with another piece that was just gonna do the same thing as the last one, so I ordered these
These are poly spring isolators from energy...
Does anybody know where I can get just the bushings for the rear traction arms (besides Toyota, they want $50 per side)? Or if maybe the ones for the mkiv work?
So I finally decided to tackle this even though my car doesn't even start at the moment. I ended up getting the Moog replacement front bump stops and I'm pretty happy with them, firm but not solid. But I could not find any replacement rear bump stops and the ones that came with the IL2s were...
Less squeak, and less maintenance, that's my guess. I'm goin the same route with mine, the new bushings will be a MASSIVE improvement over the 20+ year old stuff, without needing to constantly grease them.
Started this nonsense yesterday
Put in new Moog bumpstops, just waiting on the KYB rears and spring isolators.
Pulled these off the top of the rear shock, any idea why there would be 5 washers under the top nut?
Got a little more polishing done as well (don't mind the compound still on it...
Now I just have to finish polishing, get them powder coated, then gets the tires mounted, and put them on the car. Then I'll have to try and get the car running...
