EP3 Type R

its my drivers side mount btw

can prob pick oem for 50-100 buckaroo 2nd hand. wash that oil off. It stains!

the whole set or just that side? yeah.. any stain in my bay is very unwelcome lol that sh*t was cleaned ASAP.

Usually just the one mount. You never know! Just ask around someone's bound to have one laying around!

FYI if you didn't know. Its the same as DC5!

pm g-stick, hes got 2 sets to chose from

All for it! :)

i am running Tein SS and lowered by 2cm (running 225/40/18 so only 1 finger gap between guard). the car starts to develop slight clicking noise when i turn the steering wheel at low speed. before the SS, the clicking noise barely happened. i think my steering rack need some lube but i wonder if i should also get some tie rod ends to reduce the steering arm angle to reduce stressing the steering rack. however after doing some research, it seems the rod ends will wear and develop play in the steering.

i think my car doesn't have bad bump steer but it definitely tramlines a bit. will get wheel alignment sorted once the springs have settled and if i should get tie rod ends, i'd rather get it done b4 alignment to save $$.

also anyone installed steering arm bracket?? do we need to replace the washers and rings? can we buy them locally?

thanks

Hey philz,

Like i was talking to you b4 when u were down in sydney im also after the brackets and all i can find on the net is the one for the rsx. I read alot about the inverted and even though it seems no one in australia has had any problems im still paranoid about putting my set on. Ahhhh, everytime i look at the angles of my tie rods it makes me scared, i gotta do something >_< i did read about people putting mods on their inverted tie rod ends to stop dust and dirt getting into the ball joint. That might help abit

I got the bracket delivered just yesterday so when I find time to put it in, I'll let you guys know how it is. its not exactly cheap and installation may not be exactly easy, either. I'm going to be ordering new washers and o-rings for it too, possibly new OEM tie rod ends too.

BTW, bump steer is not when the steering wheel moves as a result of hitting bumps on the road. Bump steer is when the suspension compresses/rebounds and any change in toe that occurs as a result, so much so that the cars trajectory is altered. (Thats the gist of it, from what I gathered)

Hope that helps!
