XRAY - Model racing cars

i'm building the front suspension and can't get the upper and lower parts to line up correctly. i'm using all of the tq suspension holders, btw. the upper arm is more forward than the lower arm, so it won't fit down in the mount on the c-hub. i shimmed the ams on the pins as the manual states. can't figure it out! please help.

tallyram, Watch your plastic bushings. Just to check, go a head and put all 0 bushings in the lower arm mounts and upper arm mounts. This will make sure your hinge pins are parallel to each other, upper and lower. Once you have done this take the shocks off and let the arms freefall and this will tell you were to put the clips for the upper arms because they will settle on the upper hinge pin. Try this and then let me know.

jason, i tried what you said and i had to put all 3 clips in front of the arm using the "0" bushings. does this sound right? btw, i'm using your setup sheet to start with. also, how did you shim the bottom arms with the clips, front and rear? thanks for the help!

Tallyram, On the lower arm I am running a 3 mm spacer behind the arm. The upper arm I am runing 4mm in the front and 2mm in the rear. Also on the outer lower arm I'm running the 2 dot bushing up.

After many hours of checking set-up sheets and Xray's web site I just ordered these Xray parts to upgrade my XT8.

Front:

352301 Euro's '05 TQ Front Susp. - Set (I.S.S.)
352320 Alu. Front Lower Susp. Holder - Rear (I.S.S.)
352255 Alu Steering Block - Right
352265 Alu. Steering Block - Left

Rear:

353312 Alu. Rear Lower Susp. Holder 2° - 4° Anti-Squat - Front (I.S.S.)
353323 Alu. Rear Lower Susp. Holder - Rear (I.S.S.)
352315 Eccentric Bushing Set
357212 Lower Inner Pivot Pins


Are those all the correct and no problem fit up-grade parts? Is that's all the parts I need or have I missied something? Please let me know so I can confirm the order.

Thank you,

You might add 352180 (ball mount for IAC) and a couple sets of the caster bushings as the kit pieces are composite. maybe a 1 dot and a 2 dot bushing.

everything else on your list looks good, same suspension holder pieces I used.

if you don't already have one, get a rear tq bumper.
