More goodies for the heep.  Upper 4-link hymes   New one VS. old one.  Our messy workplace and Tyler removing one of the Hymes.  so we have 3 of the 4 upper 4 links rebuilt with all new hymes. We have alos rebuilt the track bar with new hymes and bushings. We still have the 4th upper 4-link to replace. I still have a funny lose noise comming from the front end syspention. The Bottom Hymes look and feel fine. I will have to do more digging to fingure out where the noise is comming from. |

you check wheel bearings? I had some spare hubs with wheel bearings in them.. When replacing the axles (new U-joints) we went ahead and replace the hubs as well. We still have the noise. I'm guessing its got to be a lower Hyme. Not much else it can be, other then the shocks. One of my new joints in the track bar has movement again, so I it will need repalced to drive good again. |

Get rid of all those fancy link bars, track bars, heim joints, coils and all the other shit and just hang some damn leaf springs on that thing. ;D

Looking at how well yours flexes.. That might not be a bad idea  It would be much easier putting a Dana 60 and 14 bolt in it that way.. Still I will keep those coils for now. |

If you put full widths under that thing even with the same suspension setup you got now you will see a significent gain. They are way more stable, ecspecially since Jeeps are esentially a box. |

Well on my shakedown run for the Poorboy's 1500 mile "wheeling oregon trip". I managed to break my rear rind and pinion gears. I have it put back to gether again, but not I have no more money to go on the wheeling trip :-(.. I guess I'll have to pass on that one.
