bolted on rear tires last night trying to get as far along as possible with what i had- noticed the driver side chassis link mount has 1/4" play and the bolt is rattling around in the bolt lock.  looks like welded in top lock broke free in the chassis.  removed, have a fix plan- just ran out of steam last night.


crazy.

i set the pinion depth .008" more to compensate for outer gear chipping.  Added .004 to pinion preload.  both gear sets were +.005's


Id give this failure 50% random setup that lasted 1 year, 50% loose pinion nut loss of pinion preload.

pumper needs replacement or fix
rear sway bar would be nice



ruff stuff parts lists are very confusing for sway bars

are the arms just plates or assembled? do you need the "kit" also?

are the arms sold in pairs or single? fully welded ready to bolt onto a bar?

Can't pick a bar out. Sounds like he wants a phone call for bar stuff. I need to do same but I think wheels may have to come first :(

What about the currie kit?

Arms aren't as stout as ruff stuff.  Are they more of a crawler kit?
