I am getting some bad lateral movement from the rear of my
Samurai.
It has coils with a three link suspension.
I have been running this setup for about 5 years now
and it has not been to bad.
I have only broken one heim joint, "lucky me"
but it rendered the rig almost useless for driving when it broke.
It defiantly is the week link in the suspension .
In the upper link section where it ties into the diff I sleeved
the tubing, and treaded it for angel adjustment. (Hard to picture I know)
It is really starting to egg out and make the back end wobble.
If I weld the sleeved part solid keeping the heim joint
will it still work, and will it be ok?
I have a photo, but don't have a red star.
Lastly: I am aware of the missing jam nut on the heim joint in the photo.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks
