Fox 2.0 Heim Squeak

Hey all,

I've got a nasty squeak coming from my front lower heims (Fox 2.0s), I took the coilovers out and popped the bushings out to find that they were basically rotted out. I repacked em with grease and it solved the problem but only for a few days.

Ive tried everywhere to order new ones but backorder seems to be end of December which doesn't work. Is there any other solution or part # I could possibly find at a local supplier for a heim that would work or does anybody know a secret supplier with two hangin around? I also don't wanna buy a new coilover


Thanks!

 

I assume you already called fox? They have em in stock for rebuilds but maybe if you can convince em they sell you a pair a la carte. Especially if they are fairly new you might be able to convince them it’s a manufacturing defect

 

Yeah I called and emailed, no response yet. I ordered a whole bunch of different sizes from Summit. Hopefully one of em fits?

Im about 5-6 years into these so they probably aren't a defect considering the amount of water crossing I do to launch my jetboat.

 

Well might be time for a rebuild if the squeak it that bothersome. I have tried various methods to get rid of similar problems but like you mentioned nothing lasts or is practical.

Earlier Fox 2.0s are FKS-COM12T Spherical Bearings and newer Fox 2.0s are FKS-COM10T Spherical Bearings.
