Reply to "Suspension pivot bolt loading"

Doug, I dont intend to replace the existing ones with a smaller size. The stock bolts will stay in place. I just want to reinforce the clevis joint. While the factory unit has years of durability testing it falls short on many items that a fully adjustable unit could eliminate. You never make any advances unless you step out of the box. This unit has full camber/caster adjustment that does not back off and can also have the arm geometry changed to eliminate bumpsteer issues. The clevis joints are the same size that most aftermarket suspension companies use in their adjustable setups. As for their durability, the clevis bolts should have equal strength to a rod end which many adjustable setups use.

Jeff, This is not a total custom piece. It is a design that I adapted from Hoerr Racing Products that has proven successful on many of their road race vehicles. http://www.hrpworld.com/HRPVersion2LowerAArm.cfm?form_p..._1417&action=product http://www.hrpworld.com/HRPVersion1AdjustableUppe.cfm?f..._1409&action=product
There are no clearance issues with these as they were built off of a jig made from the factory components.
