Problem with JUNFAC 4 link kit
 

I just recently purchased the JUNFAC 4 link suspension for the CC01 and installed it on my Unimog. I noticed that you had to replace the shock ends with the ones provided in the 4 link kit. After doing this, the shocks are approximately 4 mm shorter. This created a bit of an issue since I had modded the front suspension for more lift. This created the rear sitting a little lower than the front. To those who have installed the JUNFAC, have you had this problem and how did you fix it? I added a few plastic spacers under the upper shock mounts which solved the issue. I just wanted to see what others have done. The 4 link kit is amazing and coupled with the GPM steering, it finishes off my CC01 build beautifully.

That junfac kit looks very polished but at 60 bux I find it a little steep.. I think I'll try the GPM 4 link kit but that one doesn't come with that great looking skid plate.

What body do you have on your cc

I also had the same situation with my kit. I actually took the extra ball ends and installed them on the stock shocks too. I did not like the feel of the suspension after I mounted them. So I then took a pair of RC10 Gold front shocks I had laying around and installed the ball ends on them. With the shorter ball ends it complimented the Gold’s for my build and functioned great. I used the softest spring I could find and had the right sag in them for the ride height, as I did not want a rake to the chassis with the longer shock bodies. I also used a different upper shock mount too. I felt the stock location restricted movement for the rear suspension.

Here is a photo of my set-up. I have silver springs installed now which were softer than the green pair.

Looks like the outage deleted my post.

I have the Unimog CC01. The pics are in the CC01 gallery. I need to post more pics with the JUNFAC and GPM steering installed. I did some mods to the GPM steering to further tighten it up and it's outstanding. Only slop I have now is from the factory ball joints. I need to further mod the steering to swap out the factory stuff with RPM ball cups and Associated ball studs. Or, the Traxxas ball links. I modded the bottom plastic plate to allow free movement of the steering links. No binding and there should be enough room for the new ball links. I have a GPM motor mount on the way and just ordered a metal servo mount as well. This rig is going to be bombproof! :mrgreen:

what mod you do to the steering? i just got mine. thought it rode on bearing. still wears the chassis. looks way better then stock. im keeping it. just wondering what else i can do why it apart thanks

Only things I did was to modify the lower arm plate to give clearance to the steering arms. I also replaced the outer steering tie rods with Lunsford turnbuckles. RPM ball cups and Associated ball joints. Much tighter than the Tamiya tie rods.
