I never said the bar weak, just too heavy and mounted in effectively causing unwarranted stress on the control arm bolt. Having to fix the washer issue means you didnt do a good engineering analysis before putting this out.
My friend found the site and asked me to look. I would like to see some stats to support the bmr brace is doing anything, there should be some data from instrumentation from this world class engineering firm
I have no dog in this fight, if you want to install it go for it, but installing something like this on a 40 or 50k car does not make sense. The bar mounts are off axis, sheer is introduced into the control arm bolts, the mounting locations do nothing, and it add weight for no apparent...
I disagree, looking at it the bolt, is indeed moving along with the control arm, anyone can fab parts, but the engineering is what needs to be correct, abuse vs engineering is a false statement, this isnt the 1800s where a part is thrown on and looked at to see if it fails, a part is engineered...
All that needs to be done is show the CAE/FEA analysis, this will show exactly what is going on, weither your a Nigerian prince or a Mexican doctor, the analysis won't lie. As far as the sung fit, it will prevent the bolt from slapping in the hole, but it wont stop the induced torque from...
My buddy asked me to look at this and give me opinion, I'm a chassis engineer both from car/trucks to bigger military applications. Looking at this, I really don't see how this is supposed to work, there is play in the bushing, in a cup mounted way up front with a cantilevered arm, this will...
