transit drag ends

[mark]

Its true that there is not a huge ammount of articulation before the joint is at the limit of its movement but in reality unless you have the suspension set very soft it doesnt reach its limit.

On the road I have my dampers (gaz)set to about 17 of 30 clicks and im confident it wouldnt run out of movement, any less and it doesnt handle as well anyway (in my opinion) on track i stiffen them up a little more.

Any nut & bolt supplier should be able to get the M18 half nuts for you. If not you can get them on ebay.

had some nuts all along

i had a trupart draglink end and it was shorter than the moprod one i had if that helps

What make of drag links are people using?

I got a Qh one today and no joy, the thread doesn't even come through the nut when in the mushroom (3ge).

Measuring the taper and thread on the ball joint there is not enough thread for the thickness of the top of the mushroom.

Wondered if another make had more of a thread on.

I have this same problem, I have 3GE mushrooms and The drag links are part of a set from EDS Motorsport.

Any i deas of which draglinks fit the mushrooms properly?

That's the combination I,ve got and I wasn't happy with the range of movement either so I've turned 2mm off the top and counter bored the hole underneath so i could get a full nut on.




Have you tried your TREs in the Sierra upright yet. Mine didn't fit.

while i was at my very frendly autofactors getting my draglink's thay had some old stock wich i had but guy there said qh are the only people listing now and are most likely to be making all new stock for all the other supplyers now
same thing for the maxi balljoints

Tried the track rod ends in and the are slightly to small, starting to look like the EDS deal wasn't so good after all

yep! I emailed them and was told they were the right ones. I won't be using them again as their saver pack is going to cost me more than buying seperates.

I don't think I will be recomending them!
