i dont know what those numbers mean, but i do know what i would rather have for a control arm.

I probably shouldn't do this,[size=+1] but you guys can't take this out of this thread. [/size]

Hex guys' initial set up: wishbone front suspension.

Yea, its a 3 link. i don't have as much of a write up but more like alot of cad drawings. I'll find a way to post them. When i built the LA's i didnt think of the force of dropping down on things (ike a fallen tree that i recently bent my passenger side on and broke a heim joint), instead i was thinking forward and backward movement. I know, big mistake, im working on that.

Those LCA's to tend to atract rocks it seems like even though I've only broken them once. That is only because I take it easy though. I'm going to move up to 1 3/4 solid stock with 3/4 heim joints or johnny joints. Then hopefully they might act like rock sliders. lol Unless there is another way. I don't want to bend them up out of the way because then they will buckle when I slam on the brakes. But yea, they are weak they are only made out of 1 3/8 solid and 1/2 in heim joints. SShh, don't tell anyone, I already felt stupid right after I took the time to make them. Pretty simple though, buy the round stock, cut it to the desired length, drill and tap the ends, and just thead in some new rod ends.

i would use larger than 3/4" if i was you

Well, to start off, I applaud you for acknowledging the faults in your design. Most guys who fab long arms etc. on here just post some pics of something that obviously has some revision needed, but you never hear from them again. So props on that for sure.

That brake line looks happy.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

that brake line is sketching the shit out of me.

Is that upper control arm / wishbone thing really connected to the old stock LCA brackets on the body? :shiver:

How the hell was he running 1/2" heims with 9/16" bolts...?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Probably 1/2" shank, not bore.

Replace them every 4 miles and you can too!

edit: and he may have used a hammer to install them.

have they at least been improving with the progression of time?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'd have more of a problem with people giving him crap in that thread (the current one) but he kinda barged into a tech forum thread about two other company's setups and tried to advertise his, then pretty much got shut down.

yes.

at the rate hes going ill give him another 3-4 years before i would consider running one of his products

Yeah but I didn't think you could get a bore size bigger than the shank size...?

I probably just haven't seen it.
