What have you done to your P5 today?

[Sliver5]

an air ratchet is ideal but since yours will be new they will be easier to take off, a regular ratchet should do the job.

(hi) I have any air tool you'll probably need lol...

And Rob says air ratchet. So, that means mechanic, cause i got no air tools and know noone with air tools

there won't be any endlinks on teh car when I get it back

at least in the rear.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

Don't forget the firewall grommet klunk fix for them.

 

[mx-p5]

for the rear? Crap, i forgot about that

i need to search

If you crank them down hard enough (which is 80 ft lbs more than what you think is tight) you don't need the grommets.

 

[mx-p5]

But, the car will be on little jack's, and i have no breaker bar, so, i'm just using ratchet extentions, also, no torque wrench to know what i am tightining to

 

[THE Phen]

Even with grommets, if you don't tighten it enough, it will still clunk. The lock nuts feel tight when they're like 75% on. You need to crank them, and crank them, and crank them some more.

hmm.....

i guess i can wait till I get the tokico's and see what John brings down when he brings his tools for the suspension install

Here's a link with pics of the firewall grommets installed in post #29, 4th pic or so. You'll see it. Didn't find Brian's old thread about them...................http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123638460&highlight=AWR+endlink&page=2

Here's the grommet thread..............http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106761

Since you don't have the tools to crank them like crazy, do the grommets. They do work to get you by for a bit. Mine dry rotted and fell out, so I just tightened like crazy.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

TIGHTEN THEM DOWN. when you think they're tight they arent. keep going

 

[mx-p5]

Then, go with the AWR endlinks or use the OEMs?

and do i take teh awr's all the way out to use em? OR set em at OEM length? I read through the threads and they ddin't say

 

[Salmon_Rob]

zomg dude. set them so that the bar is paralell to the ground. itll be very close to all the way in.

 

[mx-p5]

that's why i asked. Don't zomg me. lol

i bought these without doing research

 

[Salmon_Rob]

just...dammitt. text me when you do it.
