That would be interesting to know. Would the proper tension/torque on the bolt (240 lbs for a 3/4 bolt) put enough force on the load bearing surfaces to handle the force of the car in a corner? And tension force from the bolt would be different for a rod end (the surface area of the side of the ball) v.s. the stock components. I don't know, just thinking out loud. On the formula cars, I think all the forces are on the bolts in shear. The attaching bolts are so small that the clamping force on the blots is next to nothing. |
