Sato: what is the antiroll bar for?

Well..i'm not expert...but as far as i know...it is a bar which prevent or minimise the car from rolling to left or right when u are driving on winding road...or taking hard bent road.

Hehehee...sifu here can correct me if i'm wrong...

It's improve the handling....

a thread in a forum where they discussed about the EPS

http://www.wheelsjamaica.com/wheels_forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=8819c84b6dd6ced0d07fac329a42e750&board=83.0

anti-roll bars are there to minimize body-roll so cornering will be more syiok

3 days to finished read all these post??. Pretty fast i guess.

That car should be value for money, of course with it's new low milleage as well as the 80% CL1 looks (except for the arch fenders & rims). But be prepared an upfront al least 20% cause margin of financing from banks should be lower.

And 1 more thing, do check the car properly cause most of the diplomat used to belasah those cars most of the time.

he he, I'm not working for N1. I guess those diplomats do make a lot of $ selling these cars.

 

[amdfaisal]

only 90k three yrs ago... demn... that was cheap..

anyway, edddial if ur interested to do a 5-lug conversion... the rear bearing of an EK9 can be used. you need only to drill the rotors or buy a new one wit 5 holes.

for front knuckles... no idea...

 

[nazad07]

EPS symptom/diseasea. Normally happen to pre '98 CF4s.

Propose solution :- Try to add + (hevieast) to your EPS setting. At least can minimise the problem.

Yeah normal to cf4.....also check the tyre preassure,maybe the preassure not balance...mine happen before, when cruising at high speed the steering feel to light, when go to tyre shop they said chamber lari la,steering bush prob...,anyway keep your tyre preassure balance.......

 

[ehsean]

so this EPS problem cannot be fixed? Honda SC can fix it? without changing a whole new EPS ?

 

[Sato]

I've tried sumber auto service centre...and rodabb.....both can't fix my eps problem.....

I think the main issue is....maybe the Eps is working fine...but without the computer data about it's alignment....the EPS can't be solved.....

Yet....if they wanna have the CF4 EPS data on the computer...that will cost money.....

Guys...my antirollbar pic is up.....go see in sales area...

thx

 

[amdfaisal]

what's the difference between the ARBs that you bought and the ones from CL1?

 

[Sato]

The CL1 antiroll bars.....i dunno how thick it is....surely not as thick as i had now.....because the cusco bar is designed for CL1 and CF4...which is the same spec.....

The cusco bar is 30mm front and 18mm rear.....
CF4 original is 25mm front and 15mm rear (estimated) no equipment to measure...hehehe
