Budget Lotus Evora Pt 4 – Fixing Suspension

Budget Lotus Evora Pt 4 – Fixing Suspension

In this episode we disassemble the rear upper and lower control arms, moving bushings and bearings as well as sliding around some camber bolts and camber plates to adjust our suspension components back to the correct placement.

Nick Rose says:

there are 3 things you don't fuck with on a car… (cut corners).  brakes , suspension and driveshafts. spend the money and do it right.

Dan Hard says:

just so you and others know a lot of those parts are designed to bend or break so that the other more expensive parts are safe and there is a lot of things that can just be bent back instead of replaced your shooting for useable not show room specs

gordon gallant says:

check with ambo 69 he could make u one check on utube

H H says:

How do you know the rear suspension geometry is back in place down to the mm? Would be really cool te find out how this handles compared to a normal Evora??

What was preventing you from welding two bolt heads back to back

Greg Hollett says:

just found your channel and absolutely love it. this Evora playlist is by far my favorite! to bad I never seen this at the time you made it. I have a machine shop and could spit out that adjustment bolt in about 10 minutes! cheers buddy keep up the good work!

The "toe adjustment linkage" is called a turnbuckle 😛

G35 Garage says:

i would guess that piece with the speaker and computer board is an alarm

BirdDog Duke says:

Invest in some tools man!

Nicholas DiPrenda says:

I know you probably already have a ton of comments about this, but the threaded rod with left and right hand threads is commonly referred to as a turnbuckle as it adjusts the length of the linkage without completely disassembling it. This is necessary for steering linkage/alignment.

Here is an example of one: https://autoplicity.com/7396512-steinjager-j0028429-steinjager-jack-screw-turnbuckles-adjusters-m16-x-200-plated-zinc-yellow-109mm-long?1&gclid=CjwKEAiAq8bEBRDuuOuyspf5oyMSJAAcsEyWdlUkQQOSKDH_Y4-mYjUPXYni0aA0mp7ypPoC6Qrm0RoCH0_w_wcB

Camber-adjustment-bolt-retainment-plate or camberadjustmentboltretainmentplate … new word, lots of points in scrabble.

Morten Bakke says:

nuts and bolts are not the same! :<

Chris Stavro says:

Buy the toe link assy from Lotus. You don't want to cheap out for a critical suspension part. I'm very familiar with various alloys, machining processes and heat treats. You can make a part that looks identical, and is 1/10th the strength of the original. Safety first.

At 250k subs maybe get a hoist!!!

Strycnine says:

Torch + Aluminum? Sounds like a bad idea for the same reason you shouldn't powdercoat aluminum wheels. Not sure if there is a difference between cast and forged.
