The moon is slowly moving closer to the earth. All of humanity is doomed…. Uhhmmm, never mind… this just requires a torque wrench.

Wwwwhhaaaat, bulletproof means shop bolts on and that’s the end of it… cancels tibus portal order. Curious, are the tibus lighter than your WW units?

Probably not a typical BMW owner. My 2016 diesel with almost 200k miles. Gonna join the 500k club one day. I should probably start hoarding diesel fuel now. WTF is world coming to… just got this post deleted by admin. and yeah… being a member of the elite, it really is my lane you douche.

Removing BMW from my B6g profile now.

Stay the fck out of my lane.

If it’s not a symbol on a scientific calculator or some form of partial differentiation, then…. No freakin chance that I get it. But I did just order up some tibus portals.

note to self… don’t ever mention the word portals in any post regardless of intent or context.

You forgot the “realistic” portal owner that is trying to squeeze out some extra capability but fully understands everything has compromises and sht breaks when pushed. But enjoys the challenge to keep searching for improvement and understanding of the trade-offs. Not very popular with the...

Sssoooo. When you go to the dentist and get a filling they always overfill that sucker. Then they get you to bite down on some kinda sheet and grind your teeth. They can now see the high spots and grind those away. Then repeat. Until all clearance issues are gone. just saying.

that’s not a bad idea. Baguette tierods. They definitely won’t kill the rack and if I am not wheeling with Miss sierrabronco I am likely to take way to long to change it out. Get hungry halfway through.

No I am assuming identical materials. To be more accurate, the diameter change results in 42% decreased bending stress. Different materials will of course also change response by having different strengths. Just trying to make the point that small increases in diameter can significantly make the...

Exactly. I used the word DICTATED deliberately. Them springs are right bastards. They freakin control everything. Sons of bitches. The shock damping just responds to the overt lockdown the springs bring down upon the common man.

not trying to be difficult here. The 8112s have a mechanical spring. Linear, progressive, … regardless, the spring stiffness is dictated a priori and thus so is the natural frequency. Sure a progressive spring will increase stiffness as displacements increase. But you have significantly...

there is always a market for excessive fear. Most people don’t want to break or replace a tierod. And they won’t load steering enough to fail the rack anyway

So you carry a CNC machine on the trail. Nice. Aerospace tolerances aren’t what they used to be. Bummer on the rack. My soft ass would take all day in a cooled garage to replace rack. 84 minutes is intense. Tell the wife god job. She probably could have gotten it done in 60 if you weren’t in...

16 to 18 mm increases bending strength by 42% (function of diameter cubed). No one can say for sure you will shoot your eye out kid (break the rack). But you just increased the risk of moving failure point to rack. Ford surely did a good job in designing tierod diameter that matches rack...

If you are bombing through dessert and looking for improved suspension performance then you really need to get spring rates correct. Long version here. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/bronco-ifs-sdof-model-why-is-spring-rate-so-important.116898/ 8112s are designed for near stock...

Here is a question for your favorite AI chat box. What is worse, AI (Almost Intelligent) providing half-ass partially accurate summaries of complex scenarios while completely trivializing the significant points of deeper understanding. OR The even lower intelligence humans that fully buy...

Only partially accurate and applicable to those that don’t really comprehend highly nonlinear stiffness discontinuities and thereby miss the more significant deeper point. I never said “the oem rack has zero play or lash during normal driving”. It most definitely does. Here is an accurate...

Not being negative here. Just passing on information. Lots of people change UCAs like my wife changes shoes. I just don’t see much of a technical reason when running the 8112s. Unless you want the displacement control of heim style joints. I do like the 8112 setup with 35s. And yeah, nothing...
