Front Hangers

Post by Croz »

Hey All.

Does anyone know of a way to drop the front suspension arms lower, Is there a way to make hangers to drop them down...

I saw an ad in for sale by Antt advertising something like this for Vitara but am not sure if I have the right idea.

Do a search in their forum for Flipping Ball Joints.

I think I just read Antt's ad that you're talking about? http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... hp?t=19350

He appears to be selling something to suit a Macpherson strut type set up to space the strut top done a bit further from the suspension tower. The Feroza is a different set up and needs a ball joint spacer to go between the top wish bone arm and the hub assembly. But then your CV joints would be put under more strain from the increased angle (so then you could drop the diff centre down possibly? But then the diff- transfer case drive needs to be looked at....) A lot of work.

Somebody was talking about doing it once, possibly James???

Has anyone used a upper ball joint spacer?
I was thinking of putting in a 1inch spacer, this wont load the CV's up too much for normal driving but will give a bit more wheel travel.
Or would i be better off just shaving the bumpstops?

Feedback of any kind welcome.
