Subject: RE:Where to get heim rod ends? by SpectatorRacing on 2008/2/6 21:31:09 You are correct - the sleeves are necessary because no one (at least no one that I could find in 2 weeks of research) sells a 3/4-16 thread with a 1/2" bore. Most are 3/4" bore so you need the reducer bushing. It is slightly longer than the thickness of the bore so the bolt clamps down on the bushing rather than the rod end. The attachment is definately putting the bolt in shear. It bolts to the top of the "arm" that sticks rearward from the knuckle. I can take a photo later if you like. I can't remember how the stock toe arms attached, anyone have a picture? The camber rods are surrounded by the knuckle on either side, but again, the bolt is in shear. But I do remember that this is how the stock parts were fastened. |
