In this episode we continue working on the widebody 944 project. We install the Rennbay ball joint kit. Now that control arms are ready to bolt on, we can install our new coilovers and start buttoning the suspension up!
Thanks! Yeah - unfortunately the more technical or how-to videos don’t always get a ton of views but I know that I’ve watched a ton of them and they’ve always helped me, so glad to be able to help some others out as well! Thanks for watching!
Had a ball joint failure couple of years back . Didn't want to take a chance with repairs so I went fabcar. 1600 bucks but much peace of mind 😄 good luck with the project!
I JUST did this to mine a few nights ago along with a set of Elephant Racing rubber bushings. The old ones were toast. Install went great, tho! Nice kit.
The one on the retainer was definitely a spirolock. I think they actually called the green retainer on the boot a spring, but I could have screwed that up haha!
I’m not sure about a solvent? These are supposed to outlast the originals. With that being said, I haven’t put any miles on them yet so I’m not sure how they hold up. I’d be interested to see how hard that epoxy is and if it could be dug out with a screwdriver or something later.
