Apologies for off-topic question, but what exactly is different about these after-market arms? Are they longer, shorter, have bigger cut-out for the shocks? Just had my car up on ramps and ive by no means a mechanical genius but im confused as to why the standard ones stop the car from gaining that lift, yet these seemingly identical arms from calmini allow more lift.
As i said apologies about the blatant question.
the calmini arms give you that space back and also fix alighnment issues you would have from haveing stock ucas and a lift.
so haveing stock arms wont stop you from lifting however the calmini ones will make it much less stressful on your ute.
no worries,you will have to replace the whole joint mate,dont have to take the arm all the way out though.
jack it up,wheel off,crack the arm loose from joint with hammer of pickle fork (cant fit a puller in there for memory).then just take of the old 1 with those 4 bolts and new 1 on,if i was you though i would seal it however you can(lecky tape and get as much life from it as you can,just keep an eye on it. then replace it as im pretty sure they are about 50 -80 bucks on ebay,snake raceing is 190 dont go near em.
Spot on Craig. As far as my knowledge stretches about this, you cannot get a full 2" lift up front due to the bump stops clearances, which is where the calmini arms come in. More bump stop room, allows more torsion crankage = more lift.
I'm in that very boat at the moment my self. Back is at almost 50mm, and front is at 30 or so, and cannot go up any more until i get those arms. (Monday fingers crosses). So the car road-sniffs and it looks buttugly.
haha i hate that look ay,i put 32" bighorns on with neg 13 offset and since have done body lift and those arm to stop them scrubbing,just gotta wind the bars up a little and its all done,winding the bars up makes a world of difference ay.i love haveing excuses to do more mods haha.deffently glad i got the uca's,especially from the us guys.you know somethings wrong when they get it to you faster from the us then they do from australia
