Its pretty cool aside from extending them an inch he welds on those pieces which are adjustable bump stops which you can set to stop the knuckle from turning too far and raking the f out of your Baller wheels/lca

We stopped being lazy and actually did some work. Did the sound deadening on the driver and passenger floor. I don't know what's less fun this or the bushings.....

Also note the amount of instagraming going on in the background. We probably do more of that than any real work

did something productive today. the stock inner and outer tie rods were shot as hell as well as the boots so we got all new stuff as well as replacing the rack bushings and the PS pump hose that were deteriorating



realized how incredibly gay removing the inner tie rods were. shout out to mazda for not making wrench flats on the rack. superrrrr sickkkk make my life easy. they came off after about 100 f bombs being yelled at it

i got a little excited and put one on already but heres the new ****/old ****



gold n silver



got all that crap back on the subframe and torqued down. looking pretty flossy. its ready to go back in the car



this setup better give us good angle or else



we also have all the sound deadening off we just need to clean all the glue residue off. anyone know an easy way to do it?

were pretty pissed cuz our friend who had our subframe didnt do anything on it and was just wasting time so we got it back, finished drilling out the rest of the link holes and gave it to another (more reliable) friend to be fixed this time

Im not 100% on the retail price because the parts guy at the local dealership is a buddy and hooks it up but I believe they're no more than 20 each. Still think the rx community is blowing it for not having poly ones available
