Hi Guys,

Last month I got a reputable workshop to install pineapples for me. Everything was fine, just tonight while I was taking off the wheels to lower the car i noticed that one of the pineapples is split. I have attached a picture.

I just have a few questions:

1. Is this normal? Is it fine to leave like that? Is it doing any damage to the car if I leave it like that for a while?

2. Is it my bad luck that it is split? Or can i get say Whiteline suspension to replace/refund? Or does it mean it was not installed properly and the workshop may replace it for me?

Appreciate any comments!

I'm pretty sure they come split from the factory, buutt that looks like it was installed possibly wrong. It looks as tho it has maybe squashed out a tiny bit, is it overhanging much over the edge of the subframe?

Yeah not sure if there split from factory. I compared it to the one installed on the right hand side of the car and there was no split and seemed a bit 'tighter'. Unless the split is facing the front of the car so I can't see it?

In any case i've email the place where it was installed so i'll see what they say.

Cheers!

For anyone that needs to know I got my answer so FYI i have been told:

"Pineapple bushes are meant to have a split in them for the uppers, and you will be correct the other one will be facing away from you"

Thanks Anyways :ermm:

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
