Pillow Ball Mount

[starscream]

how come can cause chassis crack??...

I guess it's because the pillow ball is made out of aluminum and does not absorb any vertical load hence transferring the load directly to the strut tower and dissipates to the rest of the chassis. And McPherson strut actually twist when you turn the car, so using a pillow ball will also wears the strut faster. Just what i think.

so your stock or non absorber made of what? rubber?plastic?steel can absorb impact?
ive been using pillow ball for my car for bout 11 years oredy, no crack on my car and im happy using it.ive been using gab,tien and now hks absorber, no complain so far, even my fren sos using pillow ball, all happy and not complaining.
pls note that ppl will not simply hantam pothole as they all sayang their absorber, it is not cheap even you buy 2nd hand.

then your car must have strong chassis. what car is it? original mounting is made of rubber btw.

haha...i thin volvo.

raja drive a satria with evo engine if i'm not mistaken.this is also depends on the driver
n the road that they usually travel in.if ur lucky,the road to ur work place is smooth.
if not,u'll punishing ur chassis everyday by traveling on a uneven surface or even a pot hole.
is like hammering ur chassis everyday.hehehe....

 

[dongdong0507]

yup agree, i think spot welding will strengthen the chassis, then not so easily get cracked.

 

[starscream]

I guess the main culprit of weak chassis is the material grade used in protons & of course, years of reduction and oxidation effect.

mayb just bcoz of damn road condition of malaysia road...

Hi guys,

Pardon me for asking few Q's regarding pillowmount.

1) What is the correct manner to adjust the degree of the camber (i think) of the wheels?like the BTCC cars the wheels looks like partly shoved inside the fender one.

2) Do this practise have bad impact to the bolts and joints or whatever driveshaft or the satey of the car?

I'm planning for a short stint circuit run about half a day actually..


Appreciate all answers from you guys...:wavey:

adjusting camber depends on how u drive n how ur car behave on the turn.u don't just
blindly adjust it.first u have to drive around the track to get the feel of the corner n then
adjust it accordingly.the cons of adjusting ur camber to much might impact ur tyre wear.
ur tyre will wear pre maturely.
