Help please. Thank u

 

You need to measure the diameter and thread pitch of the shank of the joint, no one except a TGC dealer has that. Replace with a good joint, like a Currie Johnny Joint, then, start saving to replace the rest before it fails you.

 

I believe they just use Johnny Joints, and rebuilt kits are available everywhere

 

Is this what you have?

 

Wheres the TGC rep at now???

He's talking about the bushings, not the joints. They measure 2 5/8" wide and are either a 9/16" or 5/8" bolt.

And I want to say the thread pitch for the joint is 1.0"-14 tpi, but I can't remember which end is right hand thread and which is left.

 

He's talking about the bushings, not the joints.

People don't always use the correct terminology either

 

The joint in that picture isn't a Currie Johnny Joint, that thing is toasted!

 

I think when I rebuilt the joints, I ordered the parts from Pure Performance:

Prodigy Joints

 

No mine are the rubber or poly frame side joints.

 

So the bushing...

 

Yup..... Obv ur useless so just stay outta it guy.

 

Then you have more money to waste then I sir...Id rather spend more and do it right the first time instead of having to go back and do it again...and again...

But I guess that's the difference between you and me...If we were all the same, and all had the same opinion, wouldn't the world be a boring place?

Obv ur useless so just stay outta it guy.

But hey...im useless to this thread anyway...

 

We need to know what your talking about. There are BUSHINGS and joints... You keep calling the BUSHING a joint, and confusing everyone...

You want advise... take the TGC junk off the truck before it falls off. If you can't afford to make it right and only replace the BUSHING, get the prodigy BUSHINGS, if the shank size is correct.

 

Flex Joints

 

Thank u. Do they sell just the bushings?

 

You would have to buy the entire assembly.

 

You sure there bud?

 

You can buy the replacement steel sleeves and poly bushings, I did

 

If he were to buy new pure performance bushings, I wouldn't think just the pure bushing would fit in the TGC barrel. Can he buy new bushings and sleeves for the TGC assembly, you bet. But why would you...

 

To rebuild something that isn't broke

Get off your DOR band wagon

I got some used TGC double ended adjustable arms for $50, that were $800 new

I spent $100 on powdercoating and $75 on rebuild kits and they have worked perfectly for me, for over 2 years without ANY issues

If nothing is wrong with the arms and the joints or bushings just need rebuilt, then why not just rebuilt them?

 

Ok I just found my links..........they are Rock Krawler joints and bushings

Rock Krawler Suspension

Flex Joints:

They have great customer service and can point you in the right direction and set you up with rebuilt kits/parts

 

Do not use the RK ones in those applications. Use the Pure Performance ones, the load ranges are much different.

Thanks for the better pictures..

We do have a 1.25" O.D. Sleeve and Different Bushing that has a much higher load rating than what is shown and better joints for the axle connections that will plug right in there....

Prodigy Joints

1" Shank and 64,000lb Radial Load and 36,000lb Axial Load isn't strong enough?

Like I said, these have done perfectly fine for my truck for over 2 years

 

That is the load rating of the joints under static loads (failure point). The bushings for truck and jeep are different inside the housings based off dynamic loads..

Man, the pics of the TGC arms made me nervous.... I would hate to see those things take any sort of impact. Im glad they have been working out for you though. They just seem like they wold fold up like a cheap tent at any moment.

 

Rock Krawler said they will work perfect, and they have

Mine are still tight and don't have any play or slop in them

 

Heres to hoping they hold out for you...

 

Who cares if they don't.......I have $200 in them addle:
