I was out crawlin with the ol' 2.2 clod today and something just didn't seem right.... So when I got home, I heaved the pig up onto the bench and gave it a look-see.... ....everything looks OK here....for the most part.... ...wait a minute...something has gone askew....?? ....that don't look right.....?? So much for the rod ends blowing out and saving my rods, eh? That was the result of a five-foot fall, landing nose down on the right front wheel. It was initially bent about 20 degrees less than this, and was driving Ok enough to keep messing around, but a bit later I had it bound up tight in a gap and it pushed the rod to where it is now. After that, I called it quits for the day. Steering was downright silly and the wheelbase on one side is 1.5" less than the other.....LOL |

Already fixed. Chopped off a length of 3/16 tube, tapped the ends, and screwed it all back together....15 minutes. Is that a record? Can anybody beat it? Sounds like a good off-season contest. Post your video of you making a new suspension link in the video area...Winner gets my VW Beetle body.... | |

I'm loving the damage. Your truck must have been going at like 100 mph with all that weight on the front axle.

Weight on the front axle; what you don't see is 7oz of stainless ballbearings in each front tire.... | |
