Looks good, but I can’t get this out my head!

 

What you guys think?? 😎😎

 

the bumper not lined up?

 

nope. duraflex requires some creativity in fitting and mounting. as you can see its not done yet..a year in

 

Went out and took some cheesy couples photos with my wife.

 

Cool! I hope you wiped all of those handprints off of the cars after the shoot

Are the pics off of 355 by Target by chance??? That’s my best guess based on the first pic.

 

Great photos looks like the wife has great taste in cars as well. My GF now owns my G and I love to watch her drive off in it. Makes me happy to see the car being used full time again, it hurt my heart to see it just sit at the house most of the time.

 

Preparing for SPL compression rod bushings...





I've searched the DIYs and how-to's, but I have one remaining question regarding this. For the ball joint side of the compression rod, do I need to have a ball joint removal tool, or will this thing pop out easily on its own? That portion of the how-to's seems to always be glossed over. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Nice photos... happy ugh.... sweetest day!

 

yup, we were across from target.

 

^^^Damn! That was a good pull on my end!

 

You can't replace the ball joint on the compression rod. Best option is to buy new compression rods, then press in better bushings. Same issue with the upper control arm (a-arm).

The only ball joint you can replace is the one in the spindle/hub. That one is the one that connects to the forward lower control arm. A ball joint tool rental would be useful to press it in place.

 

anyone else as in love with the idea of cutting the bottom portion of a g37 rear off and plastic welding it to the 35 rear as much as i am?

 

Yeah I understand that. What I'm wondering is, do I need a ball joint removal tool to pop the ball joint out of the upright? Put another way, will the ball joint end of the comp. rod pop out with some hammering, or will I need a special tool?
