yamato garage suspension - HELPP!!!!

[JZX_S14]

whts up guys, so yesterday i was installing my yamato garage suspension parts, my rucas, and traction rods fit perfect, but the toe rods had alot of play on the end links, the wibble wobble back and forth about a half inch, im sure its not supposed to b like that, any help guys??

s14 btw, ill try and get some pictures for tommorro or something

[JZX_S14]

bumppp pleasee help

Sounds like you got some messed up ones or something. You're talking about the rod end, right?

Do you mean after they're installed they have that kind of play? I would contact Yamamato garage and see what they tell you.

[JZX_S14]

yea the end links, where it connected to the sub frame, not the spindle

yes, after installed, the end link wiggles back and forth on the bolt about a half inch

[PoorMans180SX]

Yeah, that's not right. It's not because of the eccentric washers or anything like that? The bolts are good and tight?

If so, then it's definitely a defect. You talk to Yamamato garage? Seems like they'll have to send you new product or give you a refund or something, that's janky.

Post back in this thread when you find out.

i sent them an email, their office is closed

s13 s14 toerods-yamato garage (http://www.yamatogarage.com/toerods.html)

mine look exactly like tht, and the bolt isnt as tight as it can go, if tighten it, it will bend the subframe so tht it tightens the washers, i sent the an email stated exactly wht i said in my OP .. we will see wht they say

i have had a problem with their s13 rucas , had to grind them down to make them fit , they said they would replace them , still waiting.

[JZX_S14]

we will see wht they say, ill let u guys know wht the email says, im prob just gunna put my stock toe rods back on until i can figure out whts going on =\

I also had issues with their RUCA's... although i must mention that i did purchase one of their "display models" that they had going for a discounted price. But one side went on flawless and the other was a HUGE bitch to get on. Like the flange wasn't wide enough to go over the upright's bushing. This is how it looks installed.....

Come to think of it i actually made a post in their thread after i installed it and right after that the thread got deleted or something (i think).

im guessing you bent it to make it fit?

[CrazyTrance]

Negative, simply pushed it on. Angled it one way so i could get one side of the bolt in and pushed making the other side slide one..... I might be getting different arms anyways....

...this is fucking ghetto.

You guys get what you paid for.

[CrazyTrance]

^Thus why i am not surprised, and i could give two shits less.

Notice this is a thread complaining about a product...... no shit there's going to be some wacky pictures.

Nothing wrong with trying out parts from new(ish) brands.

There's a ton of cheapo aftermarket rods where this happens, the spacers that fit into the rod end aren't long enough, creating a gap. You can either machine new spacers that are longer or stack washers on either side to fill the gap.

It's pretty clear when you look at it, I don't see why you needed to create a post.

yea i was figuring i would do something like tht but it caught me offguard wen a part is designed for a car and doesnt have the exact fit it should have, so i thought there was something wrong or something like tht

Not trying to be an ass but I really don't get this kind of thinking.

pay 179 for shit that no one has heard of or spend the extra hundred for absolutely top notch RUCAs from SPL.

And esp when the price difference for the traction rods are only 50 more.

Shit blows my mind.

[CrazyTrance]

^It was a christmas present, hence why i chose a cheaper part so the person wouldn't break tha bank as hard. I don't have to explain my decisions to you.

Your mind has just been blown.

[JZX_S14]

i got them cuz yamoto was doing a holiday special or something for a full suspension kit and i needed the cheapest set i could find really, and i did some research on the products prior to buying and i didnt see any compliants, people said they are very strong and they liked it, all the other arms fit perfectly, just the endlinks are too small, so im using washers to fill the gap like projectRDM said, w.e, the product looks awsome, fits perfect, for now .. lol .. and if its wht everyone else says, they are strong, so im pretty happy with my choice

[angels12]

do you have a pic of the problem? im planning to get the rear arms, i will apreciatte your help

[YamatoGarage]

i asked him to give me a measurement and i would make a new set of spacers for him and he never reply'ed, i guess it was easier to create this post bashing our parts. also we have never had this complaint before on any of the hundreds of toe rods we have sold to s14 owners? for more customer feedback please check the business review section
