Install shorter dog bones and have a question :p
well it's been a while since a new mod :rotfl::p and i installed some short dog bones from ZZP just for the hell of it lol
anyways i did feel a diff between the shifts and also my exhaust a tad louder at idle?? :wtf: is this normal? http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...F/b1429977.jpg |
Might want to check your downpipe mating surface to the headers. The change in engine angle might have opened up a gap at the top of the connection.

i checked earlier and everything looked fine :confused:
i'll be removing them tomorrow anyway :rotfl::p should've done my researched before i bought em since all they're going to do is wear out my trans and engine mount and my monte isn't even lowered :o lol lol that was a waste of $40+! anyone want em for $30 shipped? :p i'll make a FS thread tomorrow |
Exactly HOW bad are they for the trans and such? I'm considering them so I have a set when I send mine in to get powdercoated. I drive about 5-10 miles a day would probably only need them a week or two at the most? Think it would hurt anything lol.

What benefit would shorter dog bones give you?
|
Replace your stock dogbones with these 1" shorter replacements. Shorter dogbones will hold the engine forward, which has a few benefits as shown below.
Better oil pickup during drag racing Removes vibration caused from lowering the car Better axle alignment for less HP loss through the shafts Increased weight on the front tires for better launching Added clearance to sway bar for header and downpipe installs That's what zzp says anyways.. My only concern is they won't work with my headers... |
