Heims Joint for the front sway bar! - SR20 Community Forum

Keo · 02-16-2008, 06:33 PM

okay, I wanted this to help with the wheel hop. I didn't want a complete sway kit and the Progress front hardware kit is kinda pricey ($120). I searched around for awhile and I found something that may work. I ordered a set and will post up pics when it gets in.

if you guys don't think this is worth it, please let me know why!

TIA

This is the actual picture of what I ordered.

Heim joints yo!!

So, you're going to install the adjustable rod-ends on a stock front bar? To reduce wheel hop? Don't think that'll make any difference, sorry. Hell, lose the front bar altogether!

A front lower control arm brace helps though.

People usually get the urethane suspension bushings to help out with wheel hop. Also harder motor mounts.

already have both, I'm not dealing with wheel hop it yet. I figure since I'm here I might as well eliminate everything possible.

keo what tires do you have right now? I have solid mounts, control arm bushings, and a LCA brace and still managed to get some wheel hop at the track. I think certain types of tires can also add to that. (low traction, stiff sidewall, hard compound. maybe)

x2 on the front spreader bar being really cool.

How's it fitting for you?

Wasn't there a problem with street driving on traction (DRAG) bars, as they remove the ability of the camber / flex to negotiate proper strut travel?
This might be a money saver for a drag car, which can use traction bars, if it fits.

Who owns the grease-able fittings in the pics?

My progress bar, came with un-grease-able fittings, and a small tube of useless grease. Be nice to replace them with grease fitting joints and grade 8 hardware.
