1 1/4" hiems

crash2 · Mar 16, 2015

So I am slowly planning to redo the suspension on the toy--not to make it better because it works beautify but rid myself of the damn noise my 5/8 hiems make..

I was thinking of going jonny joiunts but with that comes having to redo all the mounts to accommodate the size. After talking with a few folks I am really thinking of going with 1 1/4 hiems instead since they seem to hold up very well with little noise.

I can't find a width spec on the hiem with misalignment spacers--anybody have one they can measure?

RuffStuff sells them with misalignment spacers for 2 5/8" ID brackets...

Do they sell spacers for custom widths?

Thanks Dirk--I totally overlooked that spec near the bottom..

Is the noise a squeek? I've found white lithium chain grease quiets joints up for usually a couple runs.

Speedwaymotors.com has QA1 1 1/4" heims and QA1's Johnny joint knockoff for cheap when it comes time to buy.

Speedway still cant touch Ruffstuff pricing.

FWIW, we've had VERY good luck with all of the joints from Ruffstuff.

So $47 is different if you spend it with ruffstuff than if it goes to speedway? Huh, last I checked the same cash is the same no matter the vendor. :flipoff:

If a Johnny joint type end is what's on the menu they are available starting at $33 at speedway.

I've ran heims from both vendors and they were both fine products for sure.
