    Top mount split AGAIN

    I changed both top mounts about 15k miles ago roughly.

I'm guessing the massive pot hole the size of the grand canyon I went in a few weeks...

    Scorpion slash cut tips

    Just got a new scorpion exhaust after waiting weeks for it to be made. Went to put the slash cut tips on and they seem to be the same diameter pipe as the back box so don't slide over. Anyone had this problem before? Sent from my SM-S901B using Tapatalk

    Scorpion Exhaust Question

    I'm trying to decide between the res and non res version of the scorpion exhaust.

    Help removing upper ball joint

    I have this attachment that I've cut a couple grooves out of but the lip around the edge is so small and sloped it just slips off Didn't really think about pressing the hub instead of the ball joint so I might give it a go. But as you said just need to be careful where I press it Sent from my...

    Vibration from Powerflex mounts

    I purchased a gearbox mount on the weekend and fitted it. It has pretty much fixed the vibration issues. Obviously it's going to vibrate more than standard but it's not making a horrible buzzing noise anymore Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
