![]() When bolting a Heim joint or other rod ends to the frame are you welding a nut to/in the frame to screw in to? I don’t have a whole lot of room between the frame and outer edge of front axle so can’t really do a bracket. Going to be a 4 bar set up. Pics please if you have them. Thanks |

I drill all the way through the frame. Then slug the frame with a tube so the frame doesnt collapse. Then bolt all the way through it.
I'll post pics later. Dont have any on me

I've only put heim joints in lighter strain situations and I've welded the big nut in the frame.

Same as LB, I put a tube completely through the frame. I used heims at the axle and then a urethane bushed joint at the frame end - I'd read it absorbs a bit more and lessen's the shock transferred to the frame.

Sounds good, thanks guys. Think I will go ahead and slug it and bolt through the frame.
