[cusco kid]

hi guys we are now doing the front suspension and brakes

first job was to strip down hubs and clean up the surface corriosion

hub have no coating on them so they rust quickly

hubs cleaned up and painted with rust primer then top coated

cv joints painted as are the drive shafts

once the paint cured i fitted the whiteline roll centre adjusting kit

the steering arms also painted ,then the second part of r.c.a. kit the trank rod ends

here you can see the difference between the modified ball joint and the standard one

here is the track rod ends

the kit cures bump steer by lifting the hub height allowing the suspension to work in the full arc without causing steering tug when the suspension goes on to full compression (lay mans terms) req with lowered suspension and coilovers

thealloy arms were cleaned and new whiteline plus front bushes pressed in to them having already fitted whiteline motorsport anti lift kit

front anti roll bar 24mm for tarmac with motorsport drop links

time now to fit all the brake parts ie caliper mounts and back plates //these stop the track rod and ball joint rubbers getting fried by the heat produced on the discs (radiated heat)

all bolts are coated with anti-seize compound for ease of assembly//then dissmantling ,no seized up bolts

some of you eagle eyes may have noticed the normal rubber brake pipes on the calipers,these are temp pipes so we could get the system bled to check for leaks in all the pipework .we make all our own brake pipes for the cars with aeroquip ends and s/steel pipe .the system on the car has been moded from diagonal split to front and rear split ,so the hydraluic hand brake could be used . when the front pipes are fitted we will bleed again with dot 4 fluid when we are satisfied alls well

then Ate racing blu will be bled through after the master cylinder is emptied

Ate, RB and dot 4 are compatible

the steering rack bushes have already been done

Looking good Geo.

I should have popped my hubs over to you I didnt have anything to press my bushes in and ended up getting reamed at West of Scotland engineering getting them to do it.
