Johnny jointed or OE radius arms on a D2?

[Jeff Blake]

Are genuine rubber bushings worth the 8x cost?

Part numbers for the JJ's

x4 CE-9114-19 (Joints)
x4 CE-9114JN (Jam nuts)

I bought them from summit.

One of four came today... they are very stout... I'd guess around 4 pounds each

Nice. I will save that part number for the jj joints. If you do get the rbx101680 bushings they can be a bear. The exterior sleeve is plastic and will bulge/deform. I chamfered the end slightly 13mm then pressed them in. They bulge a bit when going in so just take your time. I used an old random bearing race. I had to clearance one side of the race so it would sit flush on the radius arm.

Big day tomorrow



So happy that Adrenalin put in free rubber bushes for me. Spent 4 hours today getting 2 bushes installed into the new Bilstein's... so shitty working with random sockets, bolts, and nuts trying to get that bush in there

Honestly with the way the hose comes out of the top of the Bilstein I'm really dubious how it will fit, but I guess I'm not the first one to put these in... if the hose was moved 90 degrees so it was perpendicular to the eyelet, it would fit perfectly. We shall see...

I’ve seen arms similar to that before....

 

[Stocksuspension66]

the adrenalin arms have a round solid bar in the middle. they are not i beam design.

 

[Jeff Blake]

Yea those look like the Terrafirma's. That's some nasty damage though
