GH parts.

So I was on here last night on the shoutbox talking with Bank about my new GH aluminum parts. Bitching about how they didn't fit right. Posted in the GH Racing vendor section and didn't want people to think I was being harsh so here are some pics of what I was up against. In one picture you can see the gap between the hub and the stop, in the other, no gap. The pieces that had the gap had to be spread apart to go together and then it was all you could do to turn them by hand, a serious interference fit. These were part numbers 02056S & 02058S. Took the dremel to them to get it to work, but wasn't happy about it. The other problem was the 02058S steering block support did not fit the stock Savage lower control arms. Had to dremel the arms and make them narrower so they would fit. It was the same for both sides. Hoping this wont be a problem with the FLM extended arms I have on the way from the SMF store, as I really don't want to have to grind on them to get it all to fit.

Don't know what's up with this, as I used the GH aluminum servo saver (Part number 02042S) and the fit was great and it really improved the steering on my truck, so I was really disappointed in these parts.

Well Did you talk w/ him about it ?

No, but he replied to my other post. He told me to send them back and he would replace them. Tells me he's a "Stand up" guy. Wasn't trying to bad mouth GH products at all, even though I may have come off that way. Was just really disappointed because the other GH parts I have were so damn good! There servo saver really made a noticeable difference, and the fit was perfect. Already took the Dremel to these parts, and wouldn't expect him, or ask him to take them back after modding them. Besides, like I told Bank last night, I've got a six foot mound of dirt in the pasture that I'm dying to hit at W.O.T. and just can't wait! I work in the R&D department at a 1:1 race parts company and know s!$%#@% happens. Manufacturing close tolerance parts is a PITA!!!
