Anyone ever run into this issue when installing their RockJock Antirock?

I can't even remember the thread size and pitch of our lugs.


Generally a 1/2" bolt uses a 1/2" nut but what the hell do I know?

You're mixing SAE and Whitworth, that's what you know.

When you've messed with something as much as those guys have (Blaine too), I suppose it becomes second nature.

Does either rod end fit the arms?

I maintain a 1964 Mini Cooper, the mention of anything British is mildly painful.

So you are well familiar with the Prince of Darkness?

Nope but I'll check it out. More The Italian Job for me, the first one.

Lucas is often referred to as the POD due to the fubar electrical on British cars.

Looked up John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness" on IMCDB and no mini coopers, just some B.S. 1980s cars and references to liquid satan. Big surprise, I missed the point.

Lusas is just the tip of the iceberg, the car was really modern at the time but so ridiculous now days. It is fun to drive but not so much when the toolbox comes out.

Yep, they fit the arms perfectly.

Did you drill the hole out to 1/2" and if so, did the rod end studs fit?

I haven’t drilled them yet, but I’m going to tonight.

Installed mine 2 months ago an all fit fine.

If you buy one of these, we'll won't get to snicker quite so much when you post silly questions.

I think I was more-or-less curious if there was a difference at all in the axle housings on the TJs, being as though my sway bar mounting bolt holes are seemingly smaller than others.

But yes, I'll buy one of those. That would actually be helpful to have around!

There is no manufactured difference in those hole diameters as far back as 90.

If you don't have a drill bit yet, a reamer will be less likely to break compared to the bit.

Have we determined that RJ really is having us drill the sway bar mounts now and didn't just send the wrong parts?

No, and no, but maybe, yes.

 

[Leroy_TJ]

No issues when I installed mine, it was the rock jock version.

 

[WallyWest]

Their instructions don't say anything about having to drill out those holes, I would think you got the wrong hardware.

This touches on one of my pet peeves... People calling out bolt sizes by wrench size. It drives me crazy! It's not a 3/4 bolt... It's a half inch bolt that uses a 3/4 wrench (or socket). I see it ALL THE TIME. It's annoying...
