Talking Quick discos

The quick discos I made were from 1/2" bolts all the way around...

I snapped two heims on my Rockstompers despite judicious grease application.

It was not worth my time to continually protect them from rust when I was not using them on a weekly or even monthly basis in the rusty place.

Yep.

Adrian, I haven't really needed to grease these as they still move freely (even in pieces). I drove it for a few days without the sway bar connected and it WAS noticable to me. I think my stock, old, tired T-bars are pretty flexible to be running without.

If I had discos, I would have those.

Was the thing that broke half inch grade 8?

These discos I bought were made with 3/8" rod ends. Doubtful if they were Grade 8 as they've broken under normal street driving. I've learned from this and will be coming up with my own design this summer.
