fellas.. as most of you know, my LCA gave way and now I'm determined to replace it with something better..
someone here mentioned, 'why not just replace the ball joint with something better' it is a very good idea, but question is, how strong will that ball joint be? and also how long will it last? and to put it simply, it still is a ball joint..
so I thought why not replace the damn thing with a proper LCA.. not with a ball joint but with a rose joint..
I know the ball joint thread is 12mm, which in turn we use a 17mm nylock nut..
now, the idea I have is to replace the control arm with something like this..
and have the heim/rose joint installed upside down on the hub that way the control arm itself can move freely vertically and horizontally to about 20* each side - not that it will
also these will be added to the joint that way there's no resistance and possibility of dust getting in..
heim joint spacer (aluminum)
boot
at the moment these are just ideas, til i find out from what Bruce thinks about this idea..
so fellas, once again, I need your opinions and ideas so we can make this work
