Paul Whiffin Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I done the exact same thing on my Supra about a year ago, absolutely transformed the car back to how it should be. I had similar problems to you with seized bolts, cracked bushes, etc. Definately a must if you want your Supra to be the way Toyota intended. Funnily enough I keep all of the rear arms in stock as well as we are changing quite a lot these days, good prices as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm likely to do this to mine over the winter, I have a 'clunk' coming from somwhere at the front and I know some of the bushes are seixed (why don't Toyota put copper grease on them when fitting?!?!). Nic/Paul, PM me prices if you happen to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Has anyone went the IKeya stuff? I've sold a few sets of these now, mike_mcevoy has the front setup on his car and there are a couple of Aus guys running them.

TLicense Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It looks to be nice kit, but from what I can tell there's one MAJOR flaw IMHO. I may be wrong, as this is only what I've been able to spot from photo's and a few comments from people who have apparently seen these.... The OB ends of the wisbones are seperate from the IB ends. Which is fine in itself. What I don't like is the way the two ends are connected. From what I've been able to gather it's basically two flat pieces of metal - one with 4 bolt holes in, the other with 4 slots. So you're relying on the clamping force of those 4 bolts to resist the lateral movement of the OB end. I don't see how that alone is going to be able to hold. I can see the OB end moving in or out under severe cornering. To make the design better they should use some kind of eccentric cam / lozenge to fit into the slots to take up any potential movement. As I said, this is only from what I've been able to gather, so if that is not the case then I would like to be the first to be told as I did honestly think they were nice bits of kit up till that point....

Nic Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 There are interlocking serrated teeth on the clamping surfaces between the 2 parts, this aligns them and stops any movement once torqued up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Nic Im looking to replace my wishbones and have opened a thread in your section, could you let me know what you can do. Cheers dunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
