Reply to "Heim joint"

George PAdmin.

6018 has heim joints on the upper suspension arms both front & rear. A previous owner had installed control arms which were modified (front) or manufactured (rear) by Ron Siple. The control arms have two heim joints each, replacing the eyelets where the rubber bushings were pressed-in. The control arms pivot up and down on the heim joints, which takes some of the unwanted movement out of the suspension, makes the camber and toe more consistent, and response to driver input is razor sharp. Pivoting on heim joints also makes the suspension more plush over bumps (eliminates the resistance to movement which rubber bushings have). So there's an upside (improved handling and improved plushness) and a downside (increased harshness on poor road surfaces).

Here's the dimensions ...
