left cup joints
i was racing my skyline this weekend and i broke yet another of my left cup joints (that was the fourth on i broke) does anyone know how to streghtin this part or how to make it. i know they sell aluminum ones but there kinda expensive and i don't want to order off the internet. oh ya i have heard of putting heatshrink over the cup but i don't get how it would fit in the bearing with the heatshrink over it.
thanx

the heatshrink only goes over the cup part so the joints dont get pulled apart. not the whole thing. taping it works also. just make sure you dont put too much or itll bind against the car. but ehh.. driving hard, i snapped a whole cup off one with this mod... so itll prolong c cup life but its not totally effective. ive broken about 3 cups already hah. theyre starting to piss me off!

no! >___< i shoulda made my response more clearer. it goes around the cup. like a sleeve. so the cup doesnt get ripped apart. (kinda works like how you use a rubber band to keep a rolled up poster nice and rolled.) they dont call it shrink"wrap" for nothing. and no, the wrap that comes with xmods doesnt work. if you have masking tape you can cut it up into a thin strip and wrap it around once or twice. not too much or too wide or it will bind!
on the subject of c cups:
lsd's, locked differentials, high torqued motors, drifting, and hardcore stuff like that will put more stress on them.

Think about it this way: at this point, you've spent about as much on plastic cups as you could have on just 1 aluminum one. Get the aluminum cups, and it'll save you money in the long run.
