4000 series hub / upright / spidle options

Rodknock The problem with whole issue is once SAI will not help or fix Shelbyracers car even doing a 50/50 split on the price for better parts if to TRASH them any way you can. He has the pictures and paper work to prove this car is all ready a lemon buy the lemon laws in NJ. I don't know what the deal would be in Cali or Nev. Once the CRAP starts flying, you can't put the CRAP back in the horse and act like nothing happened. Some people that are loaded don't care and don't understand, some jump on the band wagon and cause trouble and become a problem instead of helping with the solution. I have stated my feeling on this matter and think that this setup could use alot of help. I think Shelby knows there is a problem and don't want to deal with it, Kind of like a president know didn't have sex with that women. Truth be known that the lady slipped and fell on the floor and she was just getting a handle on the problem.
Patrickt I am sure if you want this setup on your ERA, we can work out a deal and your ERA can be a little more original to an original cobra. We may be even to get you a partial CSX# Have a good one Pat. Have 1" of snow in the morning oboy. Rick L.

Then I'd be able to say "yes, it's real; albeit not original." ......... Ehrrr, on second thought, I think I'll just stick with what I've got.

I'd be on a plane 1st thing Monday when every one should be in the office. I am currently working on a plan to find latest edition 4000's and see what the suspension looks like these days. I would LOVE to have the billet Kirkham suspension on the front of my CSX. Better , stronger and lighter. As far as the price - it seemed like a screaming deal to me to, but then again, amybe I am getting the sympathy for Shelby owners price . I have even considered getting a brushed Kirkham and selling the Shelby (although I have been told be the person who is responsible for the first polished csx4000 that I do NOT want bare aluminum - although the mat clear coat might work). Maybe my Cobra experience has all just been a bad dream that I can wake up from soon Thanks to all for the support and advice. I will get some more pictures when the hub / spindle / upright come apart this week end.

Sorry, I didn't read all but this is a not so clever designed upright.

Mickmate is right:
„You see they slotted that upper bracket for caster adjustment which is unnecessary as the lower arms are adjustable and usually the uppers are too.“

Also, I would use bigger bolts to hold the lower balljoint bracket. I believe they are 3/8“. And the bolts should come from through the bracket to the upright. If you sleeve the aluminum upright you may be able to use a M12 threaded insert.

AMP has a better set, if I am correct.

Do your steering arms point outwards?
