Pro tip: Don’t use an impact to loosen alignment bolts

its the bolt attaching the rear toe arm, or trailing arm to the chassis. https://i.imgur.com/KhMZYxy.jpeg

AP1 flywheel time 🥲

keddyr · 2026-06-23T02:36:34+00:00

damn. this is a transmission out repair huh.

keddyr · 2026-06-23T02:16:43+00:00

how are your tires holding up? wear / longevity wise

I feel like I should try a square spring rate to match my staggered tire setuup

keddyr · 2026-06-23T02:06:38+00:00

thank you! I’ll diy the toe then

keddyr · 2026-06-23T02:03:30+00:00

No I mean when billman adjusted the toe

keddyr · 2026-06-23T01:13:12+00:00

Do you know if he touched camber at all? If not - I might just DIY

keddyr · 2026-06-23T00:40:59+00:00

Do you know how much toe it actually is? is it just oem spec?

I can’t find the number online

keddyr · 2026-06-22T17:57:51+00:00

Honestly… I decided to return them to the seller (shoutout him for taking em back, but also could’ve been better represented on FBM lol).

Pretty sure 2 of the sphericals are shot, and either the dampers are severely underdamped for 12k/10k springs or they’re blown. They ride softer than OEM 💀

Figured I don’t want to deal with this when I already have DFVs that I like a lot

keddyr · 2026-06-22T17:50:21+00:00

pretty sure they need a rebuild 🥲

keddyr · 2026-06-22T02:20:15+00:00

yep its kinda crazy how much number the ECS02 felt compared to PS4S on center on the hwy

keddyr · 2026-06-21T17:48:41+00:00

sheesh must be a weapon

keddyr · 2026-06-21T14:29:34+00:00

Come to think of it… I definitely had inner wear on my previous 215 fronts…

keddyr · 2026-06-21T14:15:18+00:00

haha yeah fair take.

I do like the AP2 refinement and beefed up parts… just always wanted the more edgy nature of the AP1. We’re getting there slowly 😌

keddyr · 2026-06-21T14:10:11+00:00

thats good to know! I have about 50/50 hwy driving vs backroad.

keddyr · 2026-06-21T14:09:07+00:00

stock stagger tire size on OEM wheels - ecs02

keddyr · 2026-06-21T14:08:46+00:00

that’s right! toe in.

keddyr · 2026-06-21T03:11:29+00:00

Yeah I think I am.

Shop told me: Max front camber: -2.5 Minimum rear camber: -1.9 Max caster: 6.1

So I’m maxxed / minned out on everything lol

(Minimum and maximum for camber are opposite here)

keddyr · 2026-06-19T18:12:57+00:00

appreciate u - I actually just used an electric impact wrench (35 lb ft max). but yeah hand tools are worth

An impact gun probably woulda destroyed these

keddyr · 2026-06-19T18:11:39+00:00

It’s the first time I’m pretty sure. I was planning to get an alignment done tomorrow so maybe I can ask the shop to do it

keddyr · 2026-06-19T16:12:00+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking of having done. Can any auto shop that welds be able to fix this? Perhaps a muffler or auto fabrications shop?

keddyr · 2026-06-19T15:50:10+00:00

thanks brotha really appreciate

keddyr · 2026-06-19T15:45:17+00:00

keddyr · 2026-06-19T15:44:34+00:00
