Looking for heim joints

[73 bronco 347]

I am gonna build a anti wrap bar for my 73 bronco. I am looking for a strong heim joint to use with out breaking the bank. Please let me know if you have one or know of a place to purchase one. I am located in Az. I am thinking of using 1 1/2 pipe but can adjust accordingly. Thank you

I would / will use DOM rather than pipe, it is stronger.

DOM (if you don't have it locally):

A couple of other rod end types to consider:

RuffStuff is a sponsor / vendor on CB

I have used parts for a 3-point hitch from the tractor store. Stupid strong and farmer priced cheap. Not the tightest fit, but just fine for a torque arm. Not for steering.

Pipe won't last the first weekend of wheeling...1 1/2" DOM .375" wall. Depending on design, you need to make sure the Johnny Joint or Heim you end up with will allow enough twist for your articulation.

More torque you have the stronger it's got to be.

Check Barnes 4WD. Their joints are the least expensive I've seen and seem to be good quality.

Do you think 3 feet of Dom would be enough?

Probably not. What design are you looking to make?

The arm length is probably about 3' But you would need 2 pieces to triangulate it into something strong enough to work.

I was looking at the ruff stuff kit. Comes with 3 feet of 2 inch and 3 feet of 1.5 inch

 

[Broncobowsher]

That will work. 6 feet of overall material to make a 3 foot arm.

Call and talk to Mike at Western Differential in Tucson. He has everything.
