chassis power washed down again
front hydro lines and fittings re arranged for fix
fluid containment balloons swapped



i seem to have a bolt / miss alignment failure and not the actual heims that are wearing and causing the slop.  not sure whats up.

You're still not on top locks, right? Could be loosening just a smidge and allowing some play/slam/wear?

All top locked and checked tight at least 2x since KOH.  Heim ball doesnt move, bolt doesn move.  misallignment moves in heim and around bolt. 


i did notice some of the tabs are not quite parallel and maybe edge loading the missalignment so might adjust and add some washers ect

Could the misalignment spacers be just a little bit long inside the Heim joint?

I guess that would not explain the spacers moving on the bolt, just the ball around the spacers

i think its just the softest material compared to the heim ball and the 3/4" bolt and it got beat.


We are changing to all Stainless steel misalignments for east coast problems.  i guess the strength will be      different.

all new 3/4" grade 8 link hard ware and new SS misalignment spacers installed.  8 heims out of 12 changed for any kind of play.  front upper was fine on both ends, rear right side lower was fine. 

all joints had crushed/worn misalignments as 90% of play.  looking at the thickness of the design, i think its just weak and crushes with race prep torque.  see how the SS work.  i didnt go nuts and only torqued with impact instead of 3' bar hump.
