Daaaaaaaaaammmmnnn!!!!!!

That's a pretty penny.

Just ordered all new bushings and tie rods. I'll be installing them over winter break. Won't make a lick of difference to any of yall but it's going to make a huge difference actually driving the car so I thought I'd throw a post up. Might as well throw a pic up as well

[Tnwagn]

Haha, not anytime soon man but I think I'd be getting the better end of that trade.

Found out today my right lower balljoint I ordered from T.A.S. last winter has already failed

On top of that, the outter CV boot and the inner tie rod boot on the right side have also ripped open

Looks like its time to start collecting parts for another full suspension rebuild

Ugh.

You think they're cheaply made, or perhaps because of your ride height?

[Tnwagn]

Definitely ride height

I called them and there said that I'd have to send the part in to be evaluated to see if it was defective. The invoice was from a little over a year ago but they said they'd be able to work with me. I'm not going to try and claim it under warrantee just because I'm 90% sure it failed due to being super low, not any product defect on their part.

All in all, I was very pleased with the way T.A.S Auto handled it Cudos to them.

Keep in mind, all the problems were on the right side. I probably just hit some huge pothole along the way that totally fubar'd that side. My suspension's pretty busted up from the roads around here.

Was it a TAS aftermarket balljoint, or OEM Honda? Also, how did it fail...where did it break?

Slick wagon by the way.

A year isn't so bad considering how low you are I know it probably wouldn't last as long as it did if you were still driving on these god-awful roads down here.

Looking great man, my grandmother loved the picture in front of the stadium, She said " you should take some pictures of your car up there for me!" lol. I think all she cares about is the orange.

[naphta91]

looks good so far!

i'm in the process of collecting parts for my suspension overhaul as well w/ all new bushings all around.

It was a TAS aftermarket unit. The joint is loose in the socket. It's not completely failed....yet. There is a decent amount of play in the wheel when it's jacked up.

Hahahaha, so true. Knoxville has some bad roads but Birmingham?!?! Shits ridiculous!

Nice! Glad to know there are still a bunch of fans out there.
