Making my solid strut mount (no 56k)

well, heres some pics, if you have any interest. the solid strut mount started as a chrysler 300M hub. theres some interesting pics.........some are turning it on the lathe, and theres some finished parts. turns out the first design we didnt realize we needed some play in the strut, so i ordered the spherical ball bearing and turned it into place. any questions feel free to shout.......

heres what i started with(me and my dad)

after a turn on the lathe

after turning alot off you can start to see the differance

heres the first insert, what the spring rests on. didnt realize we needed the bearing in the center of it, so this was a flop



turning it


drilling the three holes that attach to the car



with the sperical bearing in the middle

DONE!


some random pictures of building guns if anyone is interested......

I hope you got one with a good axial force rating. Most sphericals can't take much axial force (the sphere pops out of the race).

im not sure, but all i know is that it rides different, for the better, steering is so smooth now, and it gets rid of the bumping when you turn, or the noise everyone complains about. Its just an overall better set up for lowering your car than having the OE mounts

jwagg, you dont know the purpose for solid mounts, nor the pro's and cons?

Way to do some good old fashion research.

easy tiger, i dont really care about the pro's and cons....im sure my set up is pretty much unlike any other solid strut mount... so im sure my pros and cons are different. i actually wasnt even sure what a solid strut mount was until i came here trying to find some info on what bearing i needed to use, and what i needed to complete the setup....im not interested on what you have to say is so good or isnt so good about it, cause i dont really have a choice, i needed a new setup so I made it....... i mean, ive never even seen a "solid strut mount" other than mine, if it is what i think it is......
