**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Convince me Sunday why I need it

 

sunday needs to hurry!

 

Because.. Expo AF that's why

 

Meant to post this earlier. Found this sweet rig when I was in Puerto Rico last week.

Made some good Pinchos. Very yummy.

 

Damn those are some bald tires!

 

@WheelInTheSky call off your sick

 

Still need to figure out my compressor issue tomorrow so that way we can all air up (if it's worth airing down)

 

I didn't bother to air down last time I ran this with Mark. I'd offer to bring my AC, but it's tiny and I feel bad enough pushing it to air up 4 33"s... I wouldn't want to risk airing up 4 larger tires or multiples vehicles' tires in a row.


@outdoorwhore But MONIES! Lol

Question for ya Micah.. when installing aftermarket shocks and springs were you installing coilovers or doing the compress yourself? If you had coilovers you can't really help me, the issue that I'm having is that something is preventing the LCA from dropping as far as I need it to. I can't figure out what it is.. it's detached from the knuckle so it should swing down as far as I need it to. I was wondering if somehow the tierod is preventing it but it doesn't look like that's the case. Any thoughts?

 

Your LCA bushings. They keep the arm in place like that. Either loosen the cam bolts or use a big ass pry bar

 

What he said

 

Cam bolts are loose. I can pull all 4 tabs outside the ridges that hold them in place and rotate them...


I'm considering just kicking/hammering the crap out of my LCA until it swings down freely

 

Bushing is probably froze up.

 

Then sounds like your cams are frozen! Haha. Get that pry bar

 

That's what I'm thinking, as one side I can pull the bushing back and forth (laterally), whereas the other side only rotates.

 

So basically just lever on that MF until it succumbs to my overly aggressive sexiness?

 

Put on some 2pac and go all west coast crazy on it.

 

I doubt it'll break loose that easy but you'll have to pry it down enough to get your stuff in. That's all you can do without replacing the lowers

 

Soooooo how in the actual fuck do I pry it down and install the coil+shock all at the same time? I mean I guess I can enlist the help of my 200lb dumbass friend.

I'm sorta miffed here, as I've seen videos online of people doing this and their LCA swings down to any fucking angle, yet mine is all like: "No, fuck you sexyboi! I refuse to go down past a certain point."

 

Mine was kind of like that but it moved after I gave it some lovin. Get like a 36" pry bar and sit on the one end then slide the coilovers in. Or have someone else pry down. Whatever makes your wee wee wet

 

Want some help tomorrow after work?
