Raceleda Uprights On L/w

[Guest ScotMac]

Richard, can you check w/ your supplier to find what they are from? As Tim noted, i really only need the boot right now, but i may need a spare eventually.

 

Tim, took your advice and picked up a generic rubber boot. Found a polyurethane one from "Energy Suspension". See the red boot in foto below (not sure i like the red, actually).

 

Good news...got the new sleeves from the machine shop today. I had them do both the top and the bottom. Cost $200 for the 4.

 

Here is a shot w/ the new sleeves fitted:

 

 

Though the top balljoint still looks like a tight angle, it actually has about 1" more droop travel it could do, and is substantially better than before. ie, more space between the top balljoint and upright, to allow the travel. In general, i have now have about 3 full inches of suspension travel, from that droop position up, which is probably more travel than my shocks have (small shock for the l/w). Also note, i have not adjusted the camber, and i think it needs to go out a bit, so the angle could get even better.

 

Thanks for the links Dan...yes, none of them look the l/w ones (nor like Bob's).

 

Thanks everyone for the help.

 

Cheers, -Scot
