Blazer Revival 2005!

doesn't that defeat the purpose of cone washers? I thought the point was that they had a split in them and would compress around the stud when the nut was tightened down around them

you're thinking of 10 bolt or dana 44 arms

[uglyota]

isn't the principle the same?

[Doug Krebs]

i'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here

[uglyota]

yota hi-steer arms have 4 tapered holes in them. The studs go through these holes, a split cone washer is dropped onto the stud and fits the taper in the hole, and a nut is tightened onto the stud and down onto the cone washer, pushing the arm down and tightening the cone washer around the stud. The taper and the ability of the washer to compress are important to keeping the assembly together. Very resistant to loosening from vibration.

thats like a dana 44 or a to bolt...

dana 60's just have a stud with a tapered stud, like a lug nut, that tightens the arm down.

the stud is also smaller than 44's or 10 bolt's

I wonder about that welderbuilt guy, builds those bad ass knuckles but his own rig is all pop toob and weld fitings

[eight]

yes but he is such a badass welder that its the strongest way ever, only if done by him, because he's such a badass welder

[uglyota]

I think that's what happens when your hobby becomes your job. Working on your rig stops being fun
