| I have just done this so might be of help.
Fitted them as they came (S14 length) with S13 fitment ball joint pins. Yes it does then widen the track but as a down side the wheels then toe out. Went and adjusted them straight but now the track rods have no thread left for safety. So removed the lower arms and took one lock nut out to bring the overall length back to S13 size. I then could put my track rods back at the correct safe length.
BUT now the ball joints are at there limit and they are pretty much locked (ie. if suspension compresses then ball joint cannot move anymore). This might be due to my car being so low (raising it would bring the lower arms more to the horizontal and therefore reducing the angle on the ball joints).
Anyone else had this problem???
Seems to drive ok though but i think i am damaging the ball joint in doing so. |
