Heim Joint washer for failure
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:07:28 AM »
Does anyone have a picture of the preferred method for capturing Heim Joints?
I have a few on the steering section of the car and wanted examples to follow.

Simple. You need washers bigger than the ball of the heim joint.

I would consider the Chassis Shop washers as the preferred way to go. As I remember they are 4130.
