i built a 3 link kit earlier this year and im having a small problem. insted of using the factory mount on the axle i replaced it with this.
its a 7/8s ruffstuff joint. the problem im having is the joint is rocking back and forth within the tube adapter. i was also having troubles keeping the jamb nut tight.
i havent really even got a chance to wheel it hard yet. so im not shure what rought to take.
i torq'd it last time and gave it a good tac to hold the jamb nut. but it still is rocking in the tube adapter. is the adapter wollowed out and bad now? the joint bad maby. i have thaught about removing the jamb nut all together and just full welding the joint to the adapter. but i dono if i should put that kinda of heat on the joint, or if i can even weld the joint safely.
this is the only uper control arm in the front so by nature it takes alot of force.
just looking for some .02, any advice you can muster would be a blessing.
thanks
