Funny you mention that. I was thinking to myself about buying some Savvy rear uppers just to throw more parts at this problem. I may take you up on that. It's going on 3 years and counting fighting this problem, so patience is my friend, otherwise this turd would have been sold by now, lol!
Just let me know. Hell, I could probably send the lowers too...I gotta pull the axle to regear at some point anyway!
I'll start with just the uppers as they are a smaller joint and likely will have the most give. I'll never hear the end of it from Blaine and Josh if that helps the problem. I doubt it will. Also considering a different drive shaft. I have an Adams in there now, but I've tried a TW shaft with no change. Thinking JE Reel next and go just a tad bit longer. My bump stops will allow a bit more length. Might even have to resort to a SS SYE to get even more length.
Meh who cares how much shit you get, as long as the vibes are gone. I wonder how close the barrel sizes are between the two joints? It's there an easy way to just install the guts of a Johnny joint into the duroflex housing. That would be a cheaper experiment than shipping arms!
I'd have to check. I'd bet MC makes it a point to make their arms different threads for that exact reason, lol!
I was actually thinking about the housing where the duroflex joint is. Replace the duroflex with a Johnny joint. After thinking a bit more... The rebuild kit doesn't come with the center ball.
They do, but it's a 2.5" barrel, so I don't think it will fit in the upper mounts. The narrowest I can find on their website is 2.375". I need 2".
FWIW I use the teraflex ount on the passenger side with the same gmrs antenna, not using the extra bolt hole and I have no issues. However I do plan on drilling that exra hole for the added strength.
I have a similar mount, it works good in that location…maybe that’s why factory antennas are still mounted there.
