- 1979 Jeep CJ7 TH400 Automatic 258 I6 Quadratrac Amc 20 rear & Dana 30 front, 32 x 11.5 x 15 tires. Currently a Complete Custom Rebuild in progress.
Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.
I've read a lot about the use of Heim Joints in custom suspensions. I'm wondering if two could be used on the steer arm of a Dana 30 front end? I would think the bolt size used would be critical. Would the fact that the hole in the knuckle being a tapered hole make any difference. Also, how about their use as tie rod ends? Thanks Rod
