Mikepelly Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Note to buyer- Please verify the small dent does not affect fit to the subframe alignment. I sold this set to the seller last week for $150, good price considering all brakes included. But I cautioned him, and now anyone else who buys these, to make sure that the "Small Dent" in the arm does create fitment issues. I think the seller's description is accurate, but since I never attempted to install these on a subframe I felt compelled to chime in here. I do not know how the dent occurred, these came as spare parts for a Tii I bought several years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikepelly Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 question to Karnut: based on your revised description, are you saying the inside measurement on the bent arm is 1"+ shorter? Your description is hard to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARNUT1 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Ok, paypal f&f to pplese@verizon.net , you pick up or ship? If ship I have to get you the price . The one arm with the dent on the inside of the beam has caused it to be pushed in towards the the other arm thus the distance between the two mounting ends with the bushings on them is 1.25 shorter, you can heat it up and pull.it into shape or even if you attached it to something strong you could pull it out with a come along or a bottle jack as it relatively light weight. Or ? I will fix it myself as I have a small resto shop , the skill and tools. The amount of straightening it needs is not enough with my background in strength and materials from my engineering days is not sufficient to cause any lack of strength or structural integrity. If this pieces on my airplane? I would be required by the FAA to break apart the welds and and reweld a new piece in or buy a new one , depending where it was at on the plane!

This should have been the first thing you mentioned in your listing. This is not a minor issue. It affects the tracking of the whole vehicle. Could it be fixed? Don't know. I'll let some other fearless soul experiment with their '02. Thank you Mike for pointing this out for anyone interested in these parts.

bob02 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 So where is the justification for increasing the price from 150.00 to 350.00 in a week?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
