either when you first start to turn or when you change directions.
This is what JCR uses to eliminate the roll...

Those look like they would be eaten alivethe first time you flexed the rig...
I hate them (the bushing not JCR). Another local member and I eat right through them...

I was under the impression that there was a difference in one of the TRE's between UTK and OTK.

In theory you would only want to put them on top but they are used either way from the major auto manufacturers themselves.

Yeah mine is toast. I was thinking about cutting one out on the lathe with some UHMW or something a little more durable. I mean, how much flex does that TRE actually need? The one on the knuckle doesnt articulate, it just pivots left and right with the steering motion. :dunno:

The one at the Pitman arm needs alot, 15-25 degrees depending on length and travel...

yeah, that one does. The spacer goes on the TRE on the passenger side knuckle.

Slimy advertising wherever he goes...
For the record, if you are having TRE's made expressly for you you would be making more than 1,000 (of each type) at a time to get a fair price, you do the math...
We buy about a hundred of each type at a time so we have enough cash available to continue shippng all the other orders too
The internet is a marvelous tool but there is alot of room for the used car salesman type to spew his slime also. The internet is also somewhere to hide, the slimebag won't be able to hide if we ever come to a face to face meeting I don't like people that lie about me, I say do it while I am standing there...I may be old but at least I am honest.

There are a few things that set these kits apart from the rest.
The Hex Head bungs make adjustment very easy and steering needs very fine adjustment. They are also much more expensive to make.
The Safety Misalignment eliminates a critical join while doing 2 essential jobs, most companies will not go to the expense of the much larger diameter steel required to make them.
We add these 2 items and the cost is lower, not higher, because we smply aren't that greedy

I think I covered it in the last post, they are better simply because we make them that way, they are less expensive because? Because thats the kind of people we areThere are a few things that set these kits apart from the rest.
