CR new Front sway bar - and its the simple things that are often the problem.

[gjkrv8]

This is mainly for the CR guys with the new chassis.

I had problems with the original front sway bay mounting location where it interferes with the brake calliper. i.e. head of bolt was pushing against caliper on nearly full lock and pushing caliper in. Forced brake pedal back and then you had to pump the brakes to get the calipers to push out again. Very scary sensation.

Anyway, Ian has done a revised sway bay that mounts next to the shocker in a better position and allows the bolt head to move out of the way. You'll know what I mean if you have this issue.

Fitted it all tonight and took her for a test run. All ok. Will have it up at ShelbyFest if you are going and want to have a look.


Regarding simple things - I had a clunk in my front end that was really giving the you know what's. Had a leaky shocker - replaced that, fixed one clunck, but other was still there.

After a few months of frustration it came down to dry ball joints. Bit of grease in the nipple fixed it. (I know you all would have said that first - but I am a novice.).

Just had to tell someone as it was a huge relief to finally find the bugger.

Only 4 more sleeps til my first ShelbyFest - test drive tonight was good, goes straight, corners well, brakes straight. Just gotta keep it on the black stuff.

See ya
