Front End Time

[eisenhauer01]

Well, after finally finishing the entire rear end of the car (Rebuilding IRS) (which turned into a gigantic worm hole) I began working on the front end..
This was originally only going to entail the Steeda Roll Center Correction & Bump Steer kit, and a set of FP FR3 Track Struts, but we know how these things go.

I came across a set of Steeda Sway Bar End Links on here, so I picked them up and they went on too.
Then I began thinking about the wheel bearings. My car is a 2015, which means they are the old one big nut style.
So I started looking into it, and found the Mach 1 Hub & Knuckle Kit on Levittown.
Not wanting to spend the money on it, I started sourcing parts. Used knuckles in like new condition (which came with the ABS Sensors and saved some money). New Mach 1 wheel bearings for as best price I could find. And 8 new hub to knuckle bolts. Got the entire setup for around 350 bucks.
Finally got it wrapped up this evening and everything torqued.

Good to see you've had so much enjoyment / milage and I'm impressed with how clean your under body / chassis is! Nice rebuild!

Nice. What is different on the mach1 knuckle?

The knuckles are a 4-bolt hub design, and the hubs themselves are bigger beefier bearings.
I read somewhere that there is a little bit more neg camber built into them too, but I will find that out for sure when I get an alignment soon. I mainly did it to beef things up and I liked the separate hub assembly design. I was already in there doing the steeda stuff and the fr3 struts, so I went ahead with it.
