So after 2-3 trail runs I noticed that my stock replacement UCA bushings got destroyed. I know this is because of the binding of the radius arm setup, and the fact that TNT does not use a flex joint on the upper arms.
So I did some research and narrowed it down to a couple options.
1. Become incredibly proficient at replacing stock UCA bushings...
2. Weld in a sleeve to both UCA mounts to accept stronger poly bushings.
3. Use rockkrawler joints. People have differing opinions on them.
4. Use these johnny joints from Currie http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/product.aspx?id=2889
On the johnny joints, they say it only works in the diff side mount as the pass side mount does not hold it in place (?) I guess the cast mount expands a bit as you press it in. I didn't understand it completely but whatever.
Anyone care to chime in with your fixes or ideas?
