T1r is made in china too. same as megan, but just over
price too much!! hahaha btw the arm look same as the J's
racing arms. I think that is where they copy their shit from.

its been offical that j's have filled law sue againts ajr becuz they copy their stuff and sometimes make their own "j's racing" products!
it serves them just right since t1r obviously is a cheap j's racing copy brand!!
as a taiwanese myself i feel a shamed for them cuz they got absolutely no business ethics!!!

^That does suck though b/c I feel like t1r does have some good products...well just the exhausts. The t1r 70em single Evasive has is one of the best exhausts you can buy for the s2k.

I think 70mm pipe size idea is from J's racing too...... R&D is
the expansive part. not copy it.

i'm not understanding how there is a lot of load or stress on this failed part of the toe arm.

doesn't the ball bearing just pivot with suspension travel?

is there stress when the ball bearing has no more room to travel?

is the stress on compression or rebound?

i don't understand.

jyeung528

does lowering the vehicle reduce the stress?

i am so confused.

momofoolio

the ball joints are under lots of stress under hard cornering!
its a toe arm which means it keeps ur toe in place, try to hold a tire with some toe with ur hand and roll it forward while keeping the toe and u can imagine how great that force is required at 120mph full turn...

and no, lowering the car doesnt have anything to do with the stress...
lowering the car creates toe changes on AP1 that is why you need a BSK when u run lowered AP1s!

hope it helps =)

thanks.

seems like the positioning of the spacers shouldn't affect/increase the load?

the load is what it is regardless of how far the ball joint is from the connection to the lower control arm.

?

actually it seems like the farther away you are from the connection to the lca, the more leverage and stress you put on the connection at the lca.
