Subject: RE:Where to get heim rod ends? by SpectatorRacing on 2008/2/7 20:00:39 I used the 3/4 - 16 Heim ends because that's what was used on the original piece. I assumed they had done some design and testing to determine the optimum size, but I guess I didn't give it much thought. The VBP part also had the sleeves in the bore so it didn't strike me as odd (except for the aforementioned slop). This is the rear suspension, BTW, not the tie rod ends in the front for the steering arms. There is a thick spacer on the toe arm attachment to the knuckle as the factory part has a bushing. I'll try to snap a lot of pictures tonight as the car goes to the hospital tomorrow to become bionic. We can rebuild her...bigger, better, faster, stronger... I'm not following how you arrive at the conclusion that the bolts are not in shear. I think we're talking about different things, perhaps the pictures will help. |
