*Pics* Farks No-Hop Control Arm Bushings Installed

Farid sent over these sweet Farks No-Hop Control Arm Bushing set.. These are really nice pieces to replace the gushy rubbers!

Here are some nice pictures of these installed.

I checked out Farks website and it said these were for drag race only. I know manufacturers have to say offroad use on some parts that arent street "legal" but are these on a DD, occasional driver or full race car? Any more info on what excatly these do and if they are really only for race cars would be awesome.

My car is a daily driver.. When it comes back out of our shop at the beginning of next week I will let you know... Or if the stars align we'll have it out at C5 Fest and you can check it out yourself if you are attending!

These bushings will completely eliminate any lateral movement in the upper control arm and will greatly reduce wheel hop. As far as street use goes, they have only been tested in race cars. We have not tested them on a DD yet, and do not want them to be used on the street until we are certain they are appropriate for street use.

Ah yes, we'll keep an eye on them here. It's definitely going to see a couple of miles to break her in

Can they be lubricated without dropping the cradle?

Yes they can, you can sneak a grease gun up there and pump them up without unbolting anything.

I have them on my car. On the street you would never know they were on the car. No noise. On the track I've seen a .05 improvement in the 60' last wknd. I expect much more once I can cure my belt slip. Thanks again George!!

Great! I'm glad you like how they perform. A bunch of Camaro5 members have them on their cars and we have been getting a lot of positive feedback from them.

Thanks!

On the street though I notice no difference.
