Long Travel BS Thread

Thank you sir. Quick question for you, do you still activate your 4x4 from time to time? Is it safe to do so with the setup you have? I ask because I read elsewhere that it is recommended to do so just to keep your front diff opperating correctly.

Almost. Just almost did for a second there.

 

Thanks man. Still on the fence, we'll see if I do it or not.

 

this stuff did wonders on all my bushings

 

my bushings werent noisy because I havent touched my UCA as far as greasing since install, just the heims/uniballs. Ill give that stuff a go and see if it requires less to keep it quiet lol

It actually make me a little nervous thinking something was broken lol

 

How do you wash it off? It gets super thick and doesn't even come off with the pressure washer.

 

tri-flow >

 

I haven't needed to yet, dun dun dunnnnnn

 

This stuff right?

 

yes
you can get it at any bike shop

 

Dont tell me what to do Paden.

 

do it now.

 

okay

 

I used it on my old burg uca unis and it worked great. Got mine from wheelers.

 

There is a bike shop down the street from my house, Prolly gunna walk over there tomorrow and stock up

 

Race truck parts make race truck noises. This topic has come up so many times over the years. Overall consensus is deal with it ha. Most lubricants will only do harm by attracting dirt. Good uniballs and heims are self lubricating. If you don't like the noise you shouldn't be running them IMO Teflon dry lube is the only one that is ok

 

What would you guys lube your shackle bolts with? I'm replacing the nuts with some locking ones to reduce the torque on the bushings.....the springs are used so the bushing where already lubed originally and thinking I should put some lube on the bolts? I have some synthetic grease I use for my uca bushings?

 

you shouldn't need lube on the bolts, the inner sleeve is what pivots

 

Thanks man, that'll make it simple!

Thought I was in the mid travel thread actually, lol!
