Thread: B13 Ball joint options

Would these work for you?



TDMimports anti RC tie rods kit?

I had those installed on my b14 & immediately went back to stock. B14 SE-R with only suspension mods being tein coil overs, my initial thought was my steering feedback was made even worse, I also had no PS keep in mind. Took it up the block & did a little slalom test. If I turned the wheel in either direction it felt "stuck" not because of no PS but more as something made my steering more heavier & unsafe. Going over bumps it wasn't so much "bump steer" but more over steering effect at low speeds !! I decided to not run them after that. I haven't really seen reviews on them either but I did see a couple times guys selling them back so I personally will be staying away from that specific brand

Edit* also I installed them in the two versions they can be installed & little to no difference either

Thank you for the review...maybe you should make a thread. I still haven't installed mine...hrm.

I would do a review but at the same time I don't have the car anymore to give it another detailed go.

but found some more Schassis ball joint info maybe we can compare them to our b chassis to find a solution

S13 Front
Taper low diameter 15.8mm
Taper High diameter 18mm

R32 front

Taper High diameter 18.6mm
Taper length 23mm
Diameter where it presses in 41mm

You should never install bump steer tie rods without a bump steer gauge. Just bolting them on may make bump steer worse. This is something a chassis shop should do for you. Every car is a little different. Steering geometry is affected by ride height. I did not get mine where I want it yet. I need to do some machine work to the spindles.

@Kyle may have some info.

Someone here has recently had S body extended ball joints machined and pressed into some N15/B14 wishbones, he's waiting on suspension to arrive before he can get the car down on its wheels however.

I'm on the verge of ordering but I think I will run into issues with the control arm contacting the inner face of my brake disc.

N15 ball joint measured 39mm iirc where it presses in.

is this what you're talking about ?

Mine did contact the rotor, but nothing that a little hammering can't take care of.

How is the steering feeling with them
