Project: Custom 71 4x4 hotrod

[silver7]

Guess what - more issues. The closest size poly bushings I could find was 0.88" and the ID of my heim joint is 0.75". Needless to say grinding did not work and drilling the holes larger is not an option so I moved on to option #2. . .

3/4" OD, 1/2" ID high misalignment spacers. They arrived today from 'Barnes 4wd' and let me tell you - they work like a champ. After redrilling the holes to 1/2" I was able to put my joints together with my mount tabs and tack weld the rear mounts in place. Although they gave me more trouble than originally expected it was worth it. These traction bars will not only prevent axle wrap but they will also articulate well with my suspension. Here they are.
