    Finished pulling the front axle yesterday to do the gear swap. Found the heim joints on both lower control arms are pretty worn out. They are a 3/4" x 3/4" heim with a bushing to reduce the hole to 5/16" (I think it's actually metric...close enough ) The 3/4" heim seems a bit small for something like a control arm...yall think I should just pick up another 3/4" heim and run it or should I look into something like a bushing - http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...ot_p_1646.html. I also found a guy that has a pair of RE lower control arms for 100 bucks...seems like not a bad deal. Thoughts?

    I'm pretty sure that a lot of people build lowers with 3/4" heims. That's what mine are and I'm guessing something else will fail before they do.

    replace them with 3/4 x 5/8 heims and you can get rid of the reducer. They're way stronger than 3/4 x 3/4 too. Or get the RE arms

    Allright, gonna pick up another set of heims. I remembered a few years ago heims seemed to be the standard for aftermarket links, but looking around now most everyone uses either a bushing at both ends or a bushing and a johnny joint.

    Thanks, I've got a few already, but I'll keep it in mind.

The flange bolts to the shaft with a washer on the ID that is only held in with a snap ring, so it doesn't help any with keeping the flange straight. Think if I welded the washer to the flange it would hold the flange tight enough to slow any further wear? Or would the wiggle be enough to cause the bolt to back out?
    found this, might help you out. . . http://lsjc.org/board/showthread.php?t=37677

    Oh man. If BDR doesnt respond within 24 hrs, then legally I am obligated to confirm this as the god's honest truth.

    I heard bdr's gone underground and immersed himself deeply in the gay jeep culture. He also now calls his fj a Jeep.
