numbers are rounded (digital caliper would not turn on - accuracy not all that great) <-- harbor freight


bolt ~~15.5-15.8 mm = 0.6102209105 inch = ~ 39/64 - 5/8

drivers side heim 19mm = 0.748012729 inch = ~ 3/4
passenger side heim 18.5mm = 0.7283281835 inch = ~ 23/32 - 47/64

x2, and hurry, only a couple of weeks left!

Take some pictures of it if you get a chance, that is some weird numbers and I would like a visual reference of this if possible.

i will get some pics this weekend and a better caliper or a battery

like i said its not very accurate, its basically got stretched from 5/8 to 3/4

[J Cooper]

meh.. no help

he just said i have it set up wrong and that i am hitting my steering stops and causing it to stretch the heims and that my knuckles are next.


... not true, i understand how a ram works and set it up so that it does not even touch the steering stops (if you crank it in either direction the entire way you heard the pump bark... meaning the ram is done moving)

i asked him if he has heard of this problem before and he just said ::chuckles:: "i sell thousands of these things a day... its not the heims"

so i told him i would just go buy some new heims somewhere.

[Doug Krebs]

what a dick. Did he ever think that maybe there is something defective about the heims? I'm not sure when I'll have full hydro, but I think I'll looks somewhere else when the time comes.

maybe take pictures and send him and email showing what the problem and that what he says is happening is indeed not happening.

Im not sure I would have written it off that quickly is i was him.

[J Cooper]

last time i talked to him he seemed ok, but any other encounter i have ever had with PSC was that they were kinda douchebags.

talked to them at a couple events and they were always rude.

ill just get my heims somewhere else, not a big deal

i understand what he is saying, but i do not think it is because something i have set up wrong. i will check everything out again.

i dont care to waste my time explaining my self to him, i will just buy some new ones.

he said the weight of a vehicle turning is not going to stretch a heim, you have something set up wrong.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

man, that is out of character from all I have heard and from my own dealings. My next call would be to get ahold of Sean at POS. Good luck with it though.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

the pump will chirp if it hits the stops too, anything that causes the ram to bind

[J Cooper]

well i will check everything out again to see if anything is binding. that is why i did not want to argue with him about it, but he could have at least considered what i said to be true.

hell scott was there when we set it up, he knows it was not hitting the stops.

[uglyota]

what a dick...take pictures of the setup and heims with calipers, start thread on pirate describing conversation, send him the thread

[J Cooper]

hell he is probably reading all this right now

i am just going to triple check everything on my end first, and then i can be a dick


i would still just rather not deal with them anymore.


when i ordered their "kit" i had to have them send me lines they did not include (twice) and then they sent me the wrong heims (two lefts)
