Steeda Irs alignment bushings

[16s550]

I mean 2 is better than 0. But they are kinda pain in the button to line up.

Well I'm getting some squeaky type noise coming from that same corner I got the two sleeves in. I'm trying to get my bushings clocked but dosnt seem many places have heard about that here. Even alignment place told me that car needs to settle from new suspension parts. I'm also getting a squeaky type noise from front driver side I think but for sure in front.. Sounds like dry bushings or something. Or like an older car. Hard to describe. I have a shop that said they will take a look at it but just wish I found someone who knew what I'm talking about and won't charge extra for something else.

What I don't get is how was it able to fit three of them but not the 4th one. Neither of the two I had left after installing one side fit. So I left the driver side out. I was to tired to pull the other wide again and they seem to kinda get stuck in there from snug fit.

you more than likely put the two smaller bushings on one side of the car and only one of the two larger ones will go in on the other side. they are different sizes for the front and rear. one large one small for the left and right side subframe. :cheers:

Dam..ok. wish they were marked. When I opened packed they all looked the same to me.

So I am going to install the other two and make sure I have right ones in correct location this weekend..now I've noticed I have some noise coming from driver front at low mph. I put my hand back behind wheel and it almost feels like the tire is touching the new koni strut slightly. How can that happen? Is there a way to fix?

What size wheels and tires? (I sound like [MENTION=9598]ronnieb1958[/MENTION], lol.)

Only a 10" wheel comes real close to the strut. Check for this gap when your wheel is straight, all the way right, and all the way left. If you think it is too close, then order some wheel spacers.

The fronts I put 275s. I have to lift car up to check when wheel is straight because it's to low to check with wheel straight. The wheels are suppose to be offset and workout without rubbing. When I turn wheel all the way to the left it hits and won't let me turn anymore. So I'm thinking it's gotta be wrong rim. I'm gonna try to measure with measuring tape right now.

Got the front rubbing fixed. With koni struts I need 5mm spacer to clear front driver tire. Now need to try and properly installed he steeda alignment bushings. Does anyone have a walk through on these? I couldn't find video on you tube. I want to see what steeda means by jacking front of Irs and rear of irs. Not sure I see where the jack should go.

Have you reached out to [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION] ? He can get you in contact with a tech to answer your install questions.

I emailed him about something else. Once he replies I'll ask him.

Can anyone help me figure out the difference between them? I couldn't really tell. Lol. I also got two of them in on passenger than when went to put driver side in the front went in but back wouldn't fit in whole. Did I just fudge every thing up? Also does anyone have pic of front part that needs to be supported when changing front and rear part of Irs when changing rear.

The two short, thick ones go in the front, the two taller, narrower ones go in the rear.

Thanks Dave. Also so where are good jacking points to do this? I got a little confused on instructions. If I'm not mistaken it says jack front of Irs for front bolt and rear for rear bolt. Or can I just do a middle point and do two at a time?

I'm not sure about the Steeda ones but they ones we are getting ready to manufacture are different diameters for the front and rear mounts. They are .105" different in size.

Aaaand you should totally send me a set and let me do a video review of them.. :clap2: :gossip:

just chiming in because I installed these last night and was looking at about 1 hr install time doing it on the ground, but discovered that they were different diameters, not noticeable by eye and no mention of this in the instructions. I just let the subframe hang on finger tightened bolts with no sleeves and started on the rears as only 2 of the 4 sleeves will fit (up front all 4 will fit in the hole).

As far as where to place jack, I positioned it on the rear part of the diff. and when doing the front positioned it on the front end of the diff.

Long story short, I got them installed, quality is good (obviously tolerances are very high) good job steeda, and ready for track day.
