In dans defense - you had hiems on both ends? Below centerline + bushing should be better off.

I only chew through upper bushings (front and rear both), lowers do okay.

below centerline = broken shock shafts when easy coast rock crawling.  id give that link a weekend at RC before something around it fails.  Im sure the actual link and fabrication is pretty HD and normal ruff stuff quality, but some design and application issues we have proven over and over many times.   


has to be even worse than heim / heim and a wobble stopper.

Want to add the following over TLO week 9/5-9/9 before the Line Mountain 7 Miler (currently sitting 6th in series points out of 200 drivers and have never finished this race officially):

Artec Arms
Bronze 60 Bushings
3/4 ton brakes from Lugnut 4x4
NEW FARM JACK
Replace Loose Heims in Front

Need to start planning and prepping for Mint 400 and KOH pit support/pre-running!
