tarett swaybar stuff broke ..., anyone else had problems? Options

[SirAndy]

so on my way to the AX saturday i noticed a "clunk" sound from the frontend, like i had lost something.
i had this happen before, bolt came lose on the swaybar droplink, so i thought that was it ...

when i get to the AX site and change tires, i see the droplink hanging all weird so i take a closer look and the lower hime joint has broken. the thread just snapped off the joint.
i then continue to change the tire on the other side and it's exactly the same! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

both hime joints broke in the exact same location. that seems too odd to be coincidence.
i must have hit something *really* hard for that to happen, but i can't remember running over any bad potholes etc.

anyone else had problems before?

Maybe - maybe not. It depends on if the hiem joint hits it's own limit before or after it hits the bracket. In this picture that Ira posted, it looks like the heim joint will hit it's limit before it will hit the bracket. So making the U-tab wider won't help.

However, the limit is partially based on the diameter of the spacers. Some spacers that taper to the min diameter necessary as it approaches the heim joint will increase the range of the joint.
