Hi,
In a effort to keep 3200 and 4200 on the road we've been working on replacement suspension parts. (we've had a number of customers take they're 4200's off the road due to lack of parts!)
At first we started with making tie-rods, then offering replacement bushings but since we exhausted our inventory of new control arms we've been working on fixing this issue.
This project has been going on for quite a while now but we're finally at a stage that we're nearly ready to offer a core exchange service. (at the moment we're only doing local/shop customers)
OK so now into the details:
Stock rebuild-able control arms are required as cores so the alloy piece can be recycled.
The ball-joints, special studs, bushings, boots are all replaced the alloy casting/forging is blasted and treated, if needed we've had made new tie-rod inserts bolt/nut combo's that are now zinc coated (this are the infamously seizing adjustment nuts)
A full rear suspension, pictured is also our rear tie-rods that we've been doing for a while now, those are available separately.
Front lower control arms are in the works too, as I'm shipping out my last new one, the upper ball-joint is still available
I expect to have refurbished lower front arms in stock with in a few months
GranTurismo/QPV is potentially also on the list here but that's not super high priority, eta a few months.
