Dimi 944

Just finished up inspecting the car for the track season and took some pics of the caster blocks/rear control arm bushings. Lookng for opinions whether I should replace them or not based on their condition. Thanks!

Yeah, they are toast... replace them..

I guess I was thinking right. It appears not to be that hard replacing them.
However, do I have to disassemble the whole suspension at the front or just remove the three bolts related to the caster block? Is there a way to skip alignment after replacing them?

just the 3 bolts, but yes you will have to align it afterwords.. so if you need any other suspension upgrades or repairs do them all now...as soon as you break the 2 bolts loose holding them to the car you will need the caster reset!

If heavy tracking might I suggest monoballs, I put them on my 951, and didn't have a single complaint in 10K miles of street use...

Thanks! Which monoballs did u get, Racer's Edge?

Did elephant racing front and rear of the C arms, and will be doing them in the rear when I do the TB delete!

My 944 has stock rubber bushings, as the rest of the car is damn near stock...
