Got Pedderized.....

Richie Carbone · 05-14-2008, 08:31 PM

Well partially anyway.

Monday the crew at Precision Motorsports replaced my front lower control arm, radius rod and steering rack bushings.

The car feels more responsive and planted and my bumpsteer is gone as well as my hig speed shimmy that could not be remedied with a road force balance.

Now here is where I have a problem.............Now that the front has been firmed up the rear of the car handles like SH!T.

I guess I'll have to have the rest of the bushings replaced.

I also want to thank Bob, Mandy, Luis and most of all Colt for coming in early to accomodate my schedule.

I highly recommend Precision Motorsports.

Exciting, give us more updates as you drive on!

That tends to happen

. The back end of the car has a significant amount of step out and you will definitely notice it now.
Glad to see that you pulled the trigger on this Richie.

Have fun with it.

Now I just have to have the 30 remaining bushings replaced.

I can't wait.

Quit exaggerating

Only 24 in the rear

Once that gets done all your issues go by by.

HEMI4ME? · 05-15-2008, 05:56 PM

24 is only 2 dozen... 30 is like 3 dozed, or wait? Uhm... Yah...

You missed the front upper control arm bushings and front lower shock bushings.

I'm just glad I don't have to do the work!

The Pedders guy, Paul, is the man. He's answering my endless questions via e-mail while on the way to Costco, with his wife, on a Sunday. Now that's dedication

. Now I just have to figure out how to relinquish my ride for two days a couple hundred miles away in Durham, N.C. From what I gather on this forum these bushings are the missing link in my "On-Rails" experience.

I am home now (thank goodness its over, there were 1000 people at Costco)... Let me do some checking and I will email you back.
