    Take a photo of the affected area so we can see your shock tower configuration.
    I have multiple u-joints in mine due to the 4WU ‘Cobra’ shock towers.

    The joints are Sweet units and the support is a 3/4" diameter Hiem that matches the diameter of the shaft.

    No link for the Heim... one can get them at any place that sells hardware.

    That is a nice set up! The hardest part is they sent me a 1" DD shaft... They are all custom order at like $150 for a heim style support!

    I used an EYELET style and welded a brace to help support it. I really need a solid fix before wheeling it really.

    Could you fab something with a nylon sleeve for a support bushing? I like the eyelet. Cool quick fix.
