  • Today I tackle the replacement of the rear control arms, the most expensive issue that affect the Maserati 3200, 4200 and Gransport. This part is no longer available, and is badly designed resulting in a lot of very nice Maseratis going to the trash heap. So I solved that problem!

    Outstanding work Sir!
    When everything in this world is upside down, corrupt and just plain evil, its people like you that give us all a little hope! You are an Australian badass!
    Thank you Sir!
    Now for my question, just purchased a 2014 Grand Turismo Sport with 48k miles, love the car but as you mentioned some replacement parts are being discontinued.
    I will be confirming the control arms for my model are still available if not have you any resources or suggestions for a solution if I need to replace mine. The only thing I've noticed is a little pitch and yaw around corners compared to my 2011 M3 E92, but I've only driven the car about 100mi so far, I'll raise the vehicle and give it a shake as your video directs.
    Thank you in advance Mate!

    How do you know a full size spanner has a tendency to pop the dust boot off? Also, where did you get yours? Formula dynamics?

    • @ShiftMotoring
      @ShiftMotoring  9 месяцев назад

      Lol, yeah popping that dust boot off is a nightmare. The grease makes it super hard to get back on!
      No, I make these myself. The manufacturing takes place in 4 countries and then I assemble the parts. If you want a set, or any details, the best bet is to hit up the Maseratilife forums and send me a message!

    By the way, where'd you get that hydraulic table? It's really nice!

    • @ShiftMotoring
      @ShiftMotoring  8 месяцев назад +1

      Total Tools, they've got a few stores around Australia. Otherwise you'll find hydraulic tables pretty easily on google. They tend to be used in packing and warehouse environments where people are moving goods around regularly. If you're looking for proper mechanic's equipment look for something with hard stops for safety. Mine is just for packing gear and doesn't have stops so I need to be mindful when I'm using it like when using a hydraulic jack.
