BMR panhard and adj upper

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Went in the car last night, now the rear end sits about a inch higher....is this normal?

Also while trying to install the upper mount two of the oem bolts got knarled while taking them out...then i find out i have the recalled gas tank screws which they changed from a 13 mm bolt to a special t50 torx that you have to buy! So I had to reinstall the stock mount because i couldint drop the tank to put the BMR mount in. So i did up the knarled bolts knowing full well they will never come out again without taking all the threads with it.

I love my luck, I guess i could weld the upper mount to the car.

I don't think that what you did should effect the ride height. That's strange. Did you bounce the car around a little when you dropped it back on the ground? Sometimes when I drop my car back down it looks higher until I drive it and then it settles back down again.

I didn't think you had to actually drop the tank to replace the mount. I only did the adj UCA with the stock factory mount. I know I had to remove the two rear bolts and loosen the front one so I could swivel the mount around to get the bolt out that connects the arm to the mount. I would think that you could just slap that baby on there but I'm not familiar with the BMR upper mount. If you need the clearance to get that bolt in, try swiveling the mount or attaching the UCA to the mount and then throw it up there, and then attach it to the diff. Don't know if that will work, just trying to be helpful.

If you have too much negetive pinion angle it will definately raise the rear of your car. It will also make your pinion seal leak prematurely and puts alot more stress on your u-joints... I know...I did the same thing, although it only raised mine by about 1/2". Check to make sure you don't have more than...oh say...-3.5*'s and you should be good and the rear will settle back down.

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 03:37 PM

i matched the upper to the stock upper so i know its the same. i guess ill get a level thingy...what are they called?

Grabber523 · June 27th, 2009, 03:53 PM

It'll settle. It's the upper arm bushings, I'm guessing you had to torque the upper with the suspension unloaded. If you greased them up good so they slide through the dogears it'll just be a matter of a couple miles before they settle down. Definitely get a magnetic protractor and make sure your forward and aft u-joint angles match. Should be around 2.5 degrees each.

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 04:34 PM

i just bought one...i cant get under the car on the ground to check it....i need a lift unless i can jack it up but how do i know the car is level, can i take a level off the car somewhere to make sure?

ya torqueing the upper is a joke...no way my torque wrench fit up there...double arm torque is all i got. man the rear end is so much tighter just with the upper and the bar on.

ROUSH STAGE II · June 27th, 2009, 04:42 PM

No need for the car to be perfectly level, just note the difference between the two measurements.

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 04:44 PM

ahh i get it...it still subtracts out to the same number.

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 04:45 PM

somthing else happened to me last night, i had the bottle open , nitrous tune in, pressure at 1000 psi, im all alone and ready to hit this thing...then a cold sweat came over me....Im afraid to hit this thing!!!! WTF is wrong with me?

Where is AC? Nobody told me we were having a card game.

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 05:27 PM

Atlantic City, the Borgata

07 Boss · June 27th, 2009, 05:48 PM

Never played in "AC". I would love to give it a shot. We still have the World Series going on here. There was mad money here in town a couple of weeks ago but it is drying up. I made over $6K in 3 quick sessions, I'm talking a total of about 12-15 hours. I wish I had more time to play, I could have made a real killing if I could have invested some time.

They all always say "this has never happend to me before"

Well tell those freaky stalker girls to leave you alone!! Good girls are in bed before midnight like I was last night.

Have you even sprayed a car before or with this be your first time???

30+ hour poker session.....he is insane. But everyone else can still call you a pussy lol

07 STROKER · June 27th, 2009, 06:23 PM
