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?

Lets keep in mind that my picture is with my u-tab. Andy’s may be different. So are you saying that the rod end is hitting both the u-tab and the spacer? If so, then there should be room to cut the u-tab back enough to clear. Additionally, I may be able to modify the spacers to get enough additional motion to fix this. I think that it will at least help, if not resolve the problem completely.
It appears that some cars have no problems and some (two that I know of so far) do. I’d like to figure out why there’s a difference so I can come up with the best solution. The other car that I know of, with the limited adjustment range, is local to me. Maybe, if I ask nicely, he’ll let me come by and check it out. |
