FAQ'S

Will this fit my car?

We can only confirm fitment for the vehicles listed above under "vehicle compatibility". If your car is not listed there, then we don't know if it will fit.

Do you make these to suit other cars?

We only sell the part listed on our website. If it's not listed on our website, then we don't sell it. Sorry.

What's the advantage of using the GKTech Hicas delete combo?

The HICAS system is meant to help with handling however given that the technology is 20 or so years old, it's certainly not great and is hated by most. Chances are if you have felt HICAS work while driving with a bit of excitement, you want to remove it ASAP!

Removing the HICAS steering rack gives you more predictability of the rear of your vehicle. A must if you plan on drifting your car or taking it to the track.

What modifications are required, is this hard to fit?

No modifications are required, simply just remove your OEM Hicas unit, lines and OEM balljoint on your rear knuckle and refit.

Is there anything else needed for installation?

No, you will need an alignment after that has been done, but in terms of the kit it will arrive as shown in the product photo.

Can I install this myself? If so how long will installation take?

Yes, provided you have general mechanical knowledge as this is relatively straightforward. Installation time should be around 1 hour. However, being a suspension component we recommend only a trained professional to install this product.

Will my HICAS light stay on if I install this HICAS lock bar?

Yes, the HICAS light on your dash will stay on if the ECU thinks that it’s not working correctly. This can easily be resolved by removing the bulb for the HICAS warning light behind the dash.

How do I know if my car has HICAS or not?

HICAS equipped cars have a power steering reservoir level sensor built into the cap and two wires and a float inside the reservoir. If you lift off the power steering cap with those wires the HICAS light will turn on when you start the car. Looking under the rear of the car you will also find hydraulic hoses and another steering rack device hooked to the differential and the rear suspension to steer the rear wheels. When the key is turned on and motor not started the warning lights come on (HICAS) light shows up then.

Will I have to get a wheel alignment after installing these?

Even if you have matched the kit to OEM. We still do recommend a wheel alignment after any suspension changes.

Are these suspension arms legal for use on street cars?

Our understanding is that any suspension arm with a rose joint is not legal for street use in Australia. However, we do recommend that you contact your local RTA for clarification/confirmation. Whether you use a suspension arm with a rose joint on public roads is at your discretion.

How long is the warranty on these arms?

All GKTECH suspension arms come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and the Teflon lined heim joints come with a 1 year replacement warranty. We stock spare heims so even after the 12 months is up we can still help with replacements, worse case scenario they're a 5/8" heim joint and are readily available through your local autoshop.
