remember this too...
if on one end you have a left thread heim and a right thread on the other, you can set preloads on them without taking the bolts that hold the bar in. Just loosen the jam nuts and twist.

Re: Traction Bar Design - 4 Heims VS 2 Heims and SOLID LCA Mount
Ive started fabbing this bar in my spare time, got me heim joints on order and they will be here anyday
One thing Ive come to a stop on is my radius rod bars. I went with a solid mount at the LCA, and instead of making something to bolt to the LCA, I simply cut off the end of the stock radius rods, stuck them into my 5/8" ID bar and welded it on.
Now with both bolts in the LCA, it holds my radius rods (at the front of the car) about 3 1/2" above my new crossbar since I went quite low with it, maybe 2" lower than stock.
I was hoping to simply heat up and bend the stock portion of the radius rod I cut off, bend them to the correct angle to meet up with the crossbar.
Was curious if that would cause any problems?

I was planning on using 4 heims. The two on the (crx) lca's were going to be turned flat instead of vertical and run a bolt through the heim into the original bolt hole where the stock radius arm was bolted. Make sense?
