Fisco Wide Body rear travers modification!

I have build a custom answer to one of my recent problem.
Here we go;

I begun to fell a weeker rear suspension setup, weird cracking sound on each hard accelaration, unshure feeling of handling on cornering even my suspension carries, SE Engineering 1.5 inch lowered race springs together KYB's and on top almost 8 full inch wider tire track then normal setup.

Toughed that, with 245/40/17 size rear tires and very hard accelarations broken something on the rear suspension and then decided to completely removing the rear suspension.
After taking apart the rear travers found a pair of totally destroyed absorbers.
I found out that the stock factory parts are weak enough to carry my setup
and I didn't wan't to replace them with the same weakness.

Due to my setup I begun to think about having a heavy-duty, but yet functional replacement to load on my rear travers.

So, I bought a pair of heavy-duty industriel parts for 20 bucks and have a custom build up on them and to give a bit more final flexibility I made it drilled with two holes (direction to front-rear movement) from the rubber part.
I have made installed an inner and an outer stell ring from a very strong steel (''4000'' kind used mainly for stell molding issues)

Retighten the full rear suspension perfectly and then went for a test, the differance is amazing, I can load full of accelaration and getting full of traction, car is far more reflex on the cornerings any kind of hard accelaration is welcome, kick-ass cornering with very successfull results.

So, peoples who might have similar kind of problem might consider not to go to the dealer in first hand, so this solution is lifetime guarantie for my problem.

have a good ride,

Uhm.....ehm....uhm..... How much do you want to sent a set to Sweden? :D
My bushings are bad too and so far I did't find anything else then the stock stuff.

Once the materials are ready it requires one full day to finalise a pair.
So, for a single custom set of pair it is possible to have them built for you from 95.00 Euro + shipment.

Thanks,

Where did you get these? I would like to aquire some :-P

Those parts look a lot beefier than the OEM ones. If I had the money, I would ask you to possibly make me a set...8)

Where did you get the rubber? Was that the industrial part?

I'd like to try and make a set. Can you measure the metal sleeves for me?

Yes, I will measure the original metal sleeves of the old ones for you.
The basic parts was for a industrial vehicle.Then what you need is just to make a right and tight fit from a standing steel for inner and outer diameter and also the height is important.
It is worth the time and money you are gonna to spend for it.
My case results is really great and I think that all S12's whos transfer a nice amount of torque to the rear travers will definitaly need this modification.
My floating rear under full power is like a one tight single piece now.
