Gotcha man, Just misread your original question. When you install the aligment kit (bushing sleeves) Your short direct anwser is yes they will help to align or verify aligment of your cradle. They end up taking up the wiggle room or play that just the bolt would allow. If your rear cradle was...
It may help center the cradle if it is off however it would be very strange for it to be off without impact or installation of new parts that caused it to be self inflicted misalignment of the cradle. However if the cradle was at 100% zero the camber readings would be the same number. The camber...
I have these on my car and I can tell you no they will not effect camber in any way. The only thing they do is make it reduce the cradles movement or deflection. They are absolutley worth installing as is their whole stop the hop kit. It makes a massive difference. If camber is the only thing...
The first question I have is will the claim be processed by the other parties insurance making you a claimant against them or are you putting it through your personal policy. That makes a huge difference as how this things are handled. I was an adjuster for a insurance company and now I run a...
After spending 5k on suspension from Steeda. Sway bars, adjustable links, Vertical links, stop the hop kit, IRS bushings, diff bushings, springs, Pro action adjustable struts, progressive springs... Here is what I learned. Everything helped and everything made the car feel and act more like a...
I think you kinda already know the answer. Beyond performance numbers etc the most important thing is do you enjoy driving the car. If that one doesn't make you smile then your princess is in another castle Mario. My MT-82 was annoying until I upgraded the shifter and the clutch. Honestly I...
That usually is the case. Insurance companies owe to make you whole (the way it was) so that is possible. If the wheel can not be sourced the options are 1) wait for the wheel and see if they can do all the other work and if that wheel is deemed safe they will roll you and bring you back when...
Your repair for any shop that is worth a damn is pretty easy and straight forward. Even the color, I know everyone is afraid of Oranges and Reds, they are a little challenging but honestly not that big of a deal if you have the right equipment (Tint camera, color matrix, and a qualified painter...
I run a Collision Repair facility so I can throw some info in for you.
Bumper and both tail lamps are taken off the vehicle. The bumper looks repairable, they will repair the bumper, blend paint and fully clear coat the bumper. This of course means the bumper will be completely disassembled...
Well for sure every area is different and prices definitely vary depending on where you live. I know in Colorado that repair would likely be $1800-$2200. I say if you can find a deal then take it for sure. I just would ask lots of questions about how it is being repaired. If the place is just...
I run a Collision Repair facility so I thought I might be able to throw my two cents in for ya. I agree having in professionally done is the way being that its not just paint damage but body work required.
The proper repair in this case:
Bumper- Off the car and fully disassembled, Plastic repair...
I have to says as just one person... I remember when all that went down I really did think you showed yourself to be truly a stand up businessman. Nobody really makes principle based decisions anymore. I discovered Lund and Alex from trying to research products. From Alex at the time I...
See that's the thing. I am not really saying in that case that Alex really did right or wrong. I agree that the guy Lund was dealing with needs a education for sure. My stance is there is perception and reality. The reality might have been the customer wanted this hashed out live but the...
I agree with you there. I run a Collision Repair shop and as much as I would love to share stuff I see and deal with in regards to customers and insurance companies. Integrity is a thing though for me.
Plus I always try to keep in mind he does his show after doing his main daily grind all day. If you have worked in any kind of customer service you know you get home and kind of unload all the dumb crap you have had to deal with all day. In his case it just happens to be a very public way to do...
Went RST as well. Way better than the OEM. Have not had a 3rd gear lock out since. Changed the clutch assist spring, then added a MGW shifter, Then replaced the clutch line to stainless.. Everything helped but never fixed the lock out that would happen at High RPM sometimes.. Always feels great...
This was the end on 2020 beginning of 2021 right when they were hit by the EPA and when the Nguage had just been discontinued. At the time they had told me "Just by a SCT/BDX because we will always be able to tune to that" I am glad I didn't do that either as it turns out.
Point was on my...
I go back and forth on this, Reading everyone's take was entertaining. On one hand when I first got my car I sent a email to Lund asking if NGuage was just out of stock or no longer available. The Response I got was WHAT YOU DONT KNOW DUM DUM.. They are gone not gonna happen don't you read the...
