Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Wait, What's binding? I'm confused lol.

 

keep my pics I sent handy so you know what to weld back on after you cut off too much.

Wash your truck. good grief, there's half of the mojave in that engine bay.

 

The ball joint binds if you tighten it too tight, but I’m not sure how much is too much. Moving it by hand vs the suspension cycling are two different things of course. I just don’t want to tighten it too much and it break. Is there a torque spec for them? @81Trekker

 

Drivers side inner is out. It’s for sale if anyone needs stock inners.
No low ballers I know what I got.

 

If you’re talking about adjusting tension on the ball joint, adjustable joints are usually tighten to zero play. Not usually a torque spec.

 

That’s what I figured given the way you’d tighten it is like the nut on a cut off tool (no idea what the technical term is). I was just surprised it had loosened on its own enough to have slop in the arm.

 

Yeah I’m also confused about the binding you’re talking about. I put the upper into the spindle, tightened to oem spec with some blue loctite and no issues.

 

It’s staying as a reminder of our special moment together.

 

I believe these EMF’s can be adjusted, if I’m understanding him correctly. I’ve dealt with adjustable joints before and it’s typically set to zero play. Not sure what EMF wants.

 

OEM spec is 2-3 ugga-dugga

 

I think he’s talking about the actual nut that goes on the ball joint that passes through the spindle, but I could be misunderstanding.

Never mind, you were right.

 

The ball joint itself, not the connection to the spindle. There are four holes on top for loosening and tightening the ball joint in the cup. Mine was loose. I could grab the UCA and make it knock. I just don’t want it to fall out going down the road haha

 

Just tighten them up snug but movable by hand

 

Ooooo I had no idea. That’s good to know to keep an eye on.

 

That’s what I ended up doing by instinct, but new to me so I wanted to check. Thanks!

 

was @kasnerd the little spoon ?

 

Harry carved the penis where he and Tom had truck time together. Kinda like a heart into a tree.
