Here lately, I've noticed the Runner has been wanting to wander on the highway and my alignment has gone to @#$%. I pulled the wheels off, checked the rack, looked around and found both front end-links broken. I've searched a little this morning but can't spend too much time on the net because I'm at work. What can I do? I don't particularly want to install discos. What's the best option? Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Why don't you want Discos?

If you plan to wheel, the stock links will break or you will break the mounting points.

 

Primarily because I've heard so many complaints about them being noisy.

Where can I get discos?

 

I want to know how you broke both of them. Once one breaks the other no longer has much pressure on it. Anyways I would get discos, they make a huge difference off-road. I think it depends on the type you get as far as noise goes, I'm sure somebody else will chime in.

 

I fabbed my own off Lars write-up on his website. Cost me about $30 for the parts and they work great, Tellico tested, and no noise on road!

 

I want to know how I broke both, too.

Apparently they've been broken for a while. At least since last year's CO4RJ.

 

Mine are made as per Lars Write up as well. They don't make any noise at all.

 

Can someone post the link to Lars' website please?

After I am done with the 4000 other things I need to do, I would like to do this mod.

Thanks.

 

Come on Christian, that was a noobie question! But since I'm a nice guy...

There you go NOOBIE!!!

 

My bad, I should have remembered the 42 characters!

 

i just picked up my stuff the other day. i still have to get the rod ends. grainger has them for about $8 each.

 

I guess since he is without sin should cast the first stone...

 

Christian and Alan-

I have made a few sets of discos (myself, Jim, Dr. Z, mtntoy) and actually have enough parts for one more pair, less the rod ends. Everything is cut, drilled and partially assembled, just need to get the rod ends and locktite 'em to the threaded rod. If either of you are interested, PM or email and we can talk about the details. You can see 'em in this thread

 

Thanks Jayson, I will let you know.
