Lowering

[MaccaIRL]

I have a question to add to this
On the rear we all have what I think is called an upper control arm, sorta sticks out from the spring and has a ball joint on it...

This has a metal chunk sticking out about halfway down which I'm a bit worried about rubbing on my tyre.
Has anyone any idea on if this will affect anything, i think if I lowered my car with the springs I have (30mm) it may catch

Hi Macca,

The upper control arm balljoint bolts to the rear knuckle which I can only describe as a curved rod which connects to the main hub/disc assembly.there shouldn't be anything which sticks out from there? I found the guide in the how to section good for when you tackle the inevitable need to lower the lude

I would add though, that the rear shocks are quite hard to manouvre out of the space you have, I found it useful to undo the rear anti roll bar bushes to give you a bit more space

Not an awful lot but still not a smooth surface lol
Just seems to have a few cm of clearance at standard height and if I lower it I think it'll touch the tyre

But thanks for the reply and info, I'll check this other section now, on tapatalk and find bits of it hard to use haha
