2G front upper tubular suspension arms / wishbones adjustable (NOW CLOSED)

[DSMReviver]

Is it me or it seems like the bolt might come loose from vibrations and mess with caster adjustments. The spherical bearing that bolts to knuckle arm. Is there anyway to put a safety measure mechanism into it? On a street cars the stress from the roads and prolong driving can case a lot of stress.

Many companys use/have this method and i chose this method because many guys using this have seen years of trials and has been 100% fine, so for that reason i am not going to argue the facts that it works, it also allows more height clearance. The loctite is what stops it from becoming loose and the time i have had them on and testing not once has it showed any indication of vibrating loose thats why the loctite is vital for safety!

I take alot of my inspirations from cars that are faster, heavier, corner better, win in a vast array of events and can damn right out pace our cars! And if they can utilize this design then i can to, main example its the Nissan GTR!

These black ones below are SPL arms, $1300 anduse the same design! Used in many race cars and work perfectly well!

These below are litchfields $3000 yes $3k! Use the same style but a bigger head and litchfields is a prime gtr race car designer!

As for your caster concern. Its not going to be any effect as for the caster to move the rod end needs to be fully rotated which will never happen unless you remove it yourself! Its impossibe for the caster to self adjust because its not designed to be adjusted once bolted up!

I also would not design something thats weak or due to fail and my resesrch has led me down many paths before making my final choice which is where i am at now with these, everything is over selective and engineered.

So i would not worry about vibrations or stress, i have driven an hour and a half each way on the testing and not 1 thing twisted or budged so once its all bolted down the clamping force keeps it all in check.

Also upper arms dont take as much of a strain as you think! Lower arms do but uppers are alot less! Its main goal is to keep the knuckle is position and whats left from the impact below via the shock, lower arm and compression arm. I forget the exact calculation but its something like lower force divided by the distance to and thats the force applied to that arm,

I hope this helps and answers your questions and concerns,

Thanks Bobby

I will tag him in to get his views directly from him,
i know he likes them and had used them for a good few rounds until his engine broke on the way to an event.

@Black95TSIawd mind doing a quick overview of your thoughts and review so far on the page please? Thanks

Bobby and I agreed to test his front upper arms out on my autocross car. Shipping was quick and packaging was fantastic, especially for an international shipment. Everything was tightly packaged and the foam core box was a nice touch for extra protection. Just holding them in your hands and you can tell the quality of each piece. They're also very pretty. I almost didn't want to install them. (not really)

Installation is pretty straight forward. Bobby, gives good direction on setup and is easily accessible to answer any questions. Setting camber/caster is very easy. (A proper alignment is always necessary after you make changes.)

My car's steering was already pretty tight due to it's setup, but even then, Bobby's arms added a very nice crispness. Steering felt sharp and smoother than ever. Getting the caster to match on both sides is a plus as well.

I was able to put a few hundred miles with the arms on and about 20 autocross runs. My car has 285 wide tires and makes tons of grip. And, the roads in northern NJ alone is a good torture test. Everything has gone smooth and I'm still very excited to have his parts on my car.
