Aluminum Hardware Durability
 

For the guys running aluminum hardware, what failures if any have you had?

I'm not including a shock option in the pole. Mounting shocks to aluminum just seems silly to me.

Post up and vote please"thumbsup"

I have had very little failure using aluminum on shock mounts....

Are you using aluminum at the axle and chassis

I've used aluminum at both ends of the shock axle and hoops with no damages or breaks at all.

I am curious about using aluminum in wheel hubs.

Re: Aluminum Hardware Durability
 

Almost everyone that I've seen that used Al hardware on their crawlers uses them for the hubs... never heard of anyone have issues with them "thumbsup"

Same here.

I use al. hardware in my shocks, wheels, wheel hubs, steering components, axle cases.. Everywhere! And not a single failure yet"thumbsup"

just in the midst of swapping over to all aluminum hardware on my new ride. Now it came with some and the only thing i can see is the socket head/buttonhead gets a little sloppy from torquing with a driver other then that they are pretty strong will get you more info as time goes by on my truck.
