AIM/Chassis Tech Discussion - Get Help

i bought a 4/5 chassis tech drop for my 2000 ranger in 2003 the ad stated that the kit included upper and lower arms. when i recieved it the uppers were missing when i called to resolve the issue i was told they don't come with uppers. they ran that same ad for the next year or two. on the flip side i am still running the lowers on my truck and have no problems with them. now if i would have known the uppers were not included i would have bought djm instead. thank you for your time concerning this matter.Michael,There has to be a little more to this. Please email me the phone number and the address you purchased under and I will be back to you within 24hrs or less.Thank you

M Reed,

Yes, the $699 price is correct, which includes spindles/shocks,X-Shafts.
On your other questions, I will ask Aaron to answer them for you later today.

wow that has to be the most fake review i have ever read! i was the one that was told to copy those arms off of suicidedoors.com and there are very simple mistakes that anyone that knows how to read a tape wouldn't make. it just seems convenient that, that review was so ONE SIDED.waste of time to even readFor the record, we have been building Control Arms for 17 years (1991). Sucide Doors were not even born yet. Like others, they purchased from us as well to get there start. They make a good product, and so do we. We never copy anyone, but we do listen to the customers. Are you sure you are not an employee? In any event, EVERYBODY copies everybody in the evolution of a product. No, I have never met, nor have I spoken with Tyler Hargrave of reviews for AIM. Tyler is just interested in reporting the facts, good or bad.

Thank you for you posting.

Joe just sent out my refund check. Good to know that things are on the up and up with the company now. Thanks Joe

Thank you for the posting

This is an exchange regarding S10 Control Arms QUESTIONS & ANSWERS posted earlier


BALLJOINTS
There is no right or wrong way to install the upper ball joint. It will function the same and be just as strong whether its bolted above or below the arm. In fact, by changing the location of the ball joint you can slightly change your camber curve.

X-SHAFTS

When a factory cross shaft is tightened, the the nuts and washers tend to "bite" the bushings and that makes them want to move together as one unit. In cases of extreme wheel travel this can cause the nuts to work themselves loose. Our cross shafts do not have a "spud and nut" as factory cross shafts do. Instead, ours are drilled and tapped and are tightened from the outside with a cap screw. We also use Loctite 262 red threadlocker for extra security. This design allows us to tighten the bolt down against the face of the cross shaft which keeps the bushing and bolt from wanting to bite together and turn as one

The arms can be used with OEM cross shafts if desired. Just make sure you mention that when you order them, because we will have to make custom sleeves since the factory cross shaft has a smaller diameter than ours does

No offense to you but what are you actually reviewing. Aesthetics of packaging and the part? There is nothing technical to your review. I could read on any companies website about the materials they make their arms from. What I don't get is typically the people who are officially reviewing products are experts in these products. I don't know that you have any experience in automotive suspensions to qualify you to say if a part is good, bad, or poorly designed. Could you comment on specific geometry of the arms? Or anything more technical then the powder looked good and what it was made from.

I feel that if you have no credentials then your review is worth a grain of salt. Now if I read a review on certain parts from someone like Aaron Iha, or any of the other suspension gods on this site then yes, I would take their review into consideration when purchasing a part.

BIG Joe...I have no problems submitting parts to be reviewed to the GODS of Suspension. Please spread the word along with their credentials.

Thank you for the posting,

Thank you for the posting,



You understand where im coming from right. How could some 19yo kid understand suspension geometry when he has never had to scratch build one. If he hasn't done this then how could he review your product, he has nothing to back up his claims. It would be like me reviewing the quality of a camera when all I know how to do is load the film in.

Thank you BIG Joe...
I will suggest to Tyler that he take it to an alignment shop and get the readout print on the specs and a photograph showing the upper/lower with the wheel off with a floorjack under the carm to simulate ride height.

Nevertheless, this is a report by a enthusiast and I am sure if the news was bad, that I would have received it the same as good news.

I am waiting.............zzzz for the Suspension GODS

Thanks for your comments
