ct4-s hinge pin problem i caught
hey guys, just thought i would let you know of a little problem that i noticed and corrected before i lost the pin. i was driving the car on friday in my drive way, brought it back up to the garage and noticed the left side front suspension hinge pin halfway out so i built a bracket to stop this from happening again .. here's the pic

theres a set screw on the bulkhead to prevent the pin from coming out but since its threaded into plastic it doesnt have much holding force. You can put a little notch in the hing pin using a dremel so the set screw has something to catch on and it will prevent it from sliding out.

this is the one on top ... the one on the bottom on the other side actually slid out and caught up the steering and was a PITA to get back in and had to tear it all apart ...
