And so it begins....

A link joint will not take any load down the axis of the mounting bolt unless the joint has reached its maximum angular travel or the links motion itself has been limited due to an outside force. I believe what you are seeing on the race vehicles is extreme radial loading of the joint (due to speed) forcing the cartridge style joint plastic halves out the sides along the mounting bolt axis as the ball inside compresses them.

The guy definitely does some of the best fab work I have seen.
 
Damn Chris! Top notch as usual!
 
Damn it Chris! You make me wanna stop welding altogether!:flipoff2:
 
Thank you sir. He was having trouble with the old mounts bending the cage where it was so I tried to spread the load out a little more. Plus I needed to move the mounting hole up a couple inches so this is what I came up with.
 
Thanks man!

Alex at Carolina Truggies has been dialing in the shocks for it and should have us springs for the coil overs soon. Then it's back to Snappy for the new power plant.

It's been a fun project from the start. I've enjoyed it.
 
Top notch work! The truss and bracketry work is exceptional!

Snappy: Just wondering, are those GM blue behives under the H.S. rockers?
