Hoping to not have such a fkn clunky feeling car lol Got an uber ride to work in a new subaru liberty, wish my car drove as smooth as that On another note, anyone follow FG Mods on Faceballs? Looks as though he's going to make some sort of rant about Kayhan audio as he's asking for people's experience with the company... Feel a bit unsure of this, people have treated that company with such appalling manners that its no wonder their customer service has been sub par. I guess I got a soft spot for them because I understand how complex of a task it is to research, design and manufacture the ICC replacements. They have the science down to a tee now though considering how many different vehicles they have done this for now.

I installed them myself July last year. Travelled less than 30,000km since then... Install process, following the workshop manual. Removed old arm, installed new arm, added load via a trolley jack to get the arm into its "normal" state (as if it was was sitting with the wheel on, all weight from the vehicle). Tightened bolts to spec. Got it aligned. Checked them about a week later. Thoughts? Was this an install error? 🙃 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10147/#findComment-1706309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you took the precautions to tighten it up at normal ride height, so you'd have to think it was a manufacturing issue?Sucks because they aren't that cheap!

biddie_fiddler [IMPULSIV3] Donating Members 1,374 Member For: 6y 2m 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 28/07/21 04:27 AM Share Posted 28/07/21 04:27 AM Yep, no hammers, not forcing anything (especially the ball joint, been told to never use force with them). I've submitted a warranty claim through sparesbox where I got them from. Superpro has lifetime warranty but not on ball joints - for them its 6 years/60,000km. So I'm still well within this. They say to claim through the company you purchased them from first hence why I submitted one to sparesbox. Hoping I get some replacement parts 🤞 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10147/#findComment-1706311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet. Given Sparesbox's and Superpro's reputation however, I doubt it'll happen. Seems like Superpro's preference is to go through the seller's warranty first, but you can still go through them directly if you choose to.
