Anybody see these new joints on the forums ?
Pretty cool design. I asked Dave if they were anything like the MC Joints. He said ....
Well this

"These are NOT the same as MC joints. They use a single Durometer rubber with a vulcanized ball in the center. Theirs also rotates in the ID of the bushing housing and requires grease/maintaince. Ours uses a dual durometer urethane. They are hard on the inside where the inner sleeve rides & soft on the outter where the articulation occurs. There is a also a Teflon liner on the ID where the bushing sleeve rides. The outter ID is nylon and are press fit.

The first units will be to replace the Clevite style ends. More sizes and applications will be coming down the pipe line later"

Looks like the stock clevite style end is going to be running these new joints first. Later the JJ.
RK's new joints. Now I'm hearing TF has one under development.
All these new parts from different manufactures is making my head spin

Did you get a set of these? Are those in hand?

 

[kjeeper10]

No .. Not released yet as far as i know. Iirc Synergy has a few sets out for testing.
I would wait until the JJ replacement comes out before deciding.

 

[roscoj]

These look promising. It will be nice to see how they perform.

 

[kjeeper10]

My plans are for a synergy track bar and upper frame brace. Somebody mentioned having a track bar with the new bushings. Highly interested in this. Synergy is getting a PM

These look very interesting. I mentioned these on another forum (more like a circle-jerk cult, it seems) and they thought it was "cheesy" that I mentioned it. Inbreeding will do that to you, I suppose. Anyway, I'm looking forward to what people think when these actually start being used. What are the advantages? Longevity? Comfort? Low Maintenance?

 

[kjeeper10]

Fwiw .. Synergy is a vender here, but they never post. I sent Dave/Chris this thread for more info.

The design --although not like a DF joint -- looks very much like one. Assuming ride(NVH) and high misalignment are priority.

JKO I'm assuming ?

 

[HK_Runner]

JKO isn't that bad. Wayalife. Some of the guys there are cool but some are just unbalanced and delusional...and they dangle off Eddie.

 

[kjeeper10]

Oooh embarrassed to admit, I did sign up but was never approved or whatever. JKO was started from JF after he destroyed the place.

 

[HK_Runner]

Did not know the history. Sounds interesting. As far as Eddie and his merry band of boys is concerned, you're not missing much of any consequence.

Thanks for posting up Kjeeper10. We have been testing this design for a little over 2 years now with zero issues on the current design and urethane combo. We will be making more sizes in this design and using them for all of our suspension components including trackbars.

 

[HK_Runner]

Dave, what are the advantages of this joint? While Wayalife may not be over excited about this, some of us are not as biased or angry (or conniving) about all this. Looking forward to hearing more about and seeing these joints in action.

Oh...
I need a front track bar. Hurry up

Oh...
I need a front track bar. Hurry up

x2...Im ready to replace the joint in my synergy track bar. :happyyes:

 

[HK_Runner]

I keep messing up and mentioning Synergy every now and then. It is now making sense why he gets pissed off at me. Someone called me a troll too. I just was not aware of the intense history. "Synergy" shows up but I suppose I am a keystroke away from getting banned there. Eek!

Lol too funny.

I can't imagine not being able to talk about certain manufacturers, Just because the don't pay the site ... Really ?

Advantages:
-Very durable = long life
-Maintaince free
-Self centering
-Allows for misalignment /arm articulation (30 degrees)
-Price point ($20-$25 retail)

Whats funny is that I tried to pay him... He wouldn't take my $$$, thats why we helped Lance bank roll JKO after Shaffer gave it up.
