Assembly, Testing, & Final Touches

so this is our assembly shop so over here uh bobby right now he's putting together our lower control arms here these are our third gen camaro lower control arms so just like what you saw out there in the raw stage these have been powder coated there's that bushing tube that we saw over in the machine shop something that we do here is all of our lower control arms and upper control arms our bushings we use delve right in delrin is a plastic it's very quiet it's very dense so as you start pushing your car into corners a rubber is going to deflect all right a polyurethane polyurethane it's gonna deflect again also so this will go in here like this [Music] this will go into the frame you'll do a through bolt clamp it on but now as your bolts going through here and you have all this load pushing and pulling against this this delrin isn't going to deflect it's going to hold its location the reason why you want to hold that location is you spent all this time pinpointing where this ball joint needed to be in your geometry and your suspension so if you have rubber in here and it starts flexing well that's no good you know now your geometry is all out so what bobby's doing right now is he's going through and he's drilling and tapping right here for a grease fitting so that's again something that we do here we'll we'll drill tap and we'll install all of this um the ball joint the grease fittings and the delrin and the crush tube we'll pre-lube it it's ready for you just to put it in the car pretty amazed at how well insulated this is for sound yeah let's go through that door it's really quiet in here so these are corner assemblies uh the uprights that we just saw in the machine shop these are the ones that are fully assembled so just like you saw on that cab drawing here's our steer arm forged steel again machining in-house it's coated bolts on to the upright and then it's got our hub pack on it the corvette hub yep it's corvette hud pack what are these ball joints are they factory from something they are an oem we get these from this same oem supplier that gm does so that's another thing that we do is we spend a lot of time finding our suppliers on certain things ball joints being one of them um it's holding the car together so it has to be strong the other thing that the engineers do is when they find those suppliers when they find those parts like this ball joint we make dies and tooling we'll send it up the road and have it actual destructive test to see at what…
