Crash...
Thanks for the info. I think members of this forum have you confused as some kind of jeeper-troll...so please excuse what may have been less then a warm welcome. As I understand it...your a certified H2 technician..how so is that? (just curious, not interogating).
Why are hiem-connectors widly used in heavy-duty applications but not on the street? is it just because they have not been DOT cert'd?
We actually ran into a problem. The connectors were smooth at first and all was well, but over some short time, particularly while moving slowly along the trail...the intense heat from the brakes/rotors caused the outside hiem's to actually glaze.....in no time my H2 was a wild squeek machine!
The current idea is to move towards connectors with grease-fittings, but those are actually rated as lower-strength. Even with the lower strength they are still several times stronger then the ball-joint connector we already have.
My thought was just to sleeve the rod, but that won't help the ball-joint. Also, all failures are exactly as Alec depicted above.
Makes me thing....it used to be "speak quietly and carry a big stick"...perhaps it should be "drive slowly and carry a spare tie-rod"??
