Reply to "Suspension pivot bolt loading"

panteraturboMember

The tabs are pretty hefty. They are about 3/8 thick and have been beveled before welding for proper penetration. All in all considerably more meat than the stockers. The ball joint plates are from a reputable race car manufacturer so I trust them more than my own work. However, the plates would likely get a fair bit more abuse from road driving than racing. Didnt the old GM vehicles use bolt in ball joints in single shear though? Seems like if they could handle the load of those old tanks it should be able to handle the load of my car. Not to mention if those bolts were to break the suspension would not let loose entirely. If a pivot bolt were to break all hell would break loose with it. These are the things I want to work out though before doing any competitive driving ie. Silver State.
