Damn Lucky
So I noticed a play on my steering after returning from Wildebeesfees this past weekend. Last night I had a look at the Drag Link, and noticed some play. Tightened the skrews again, and went to work today. The noise and play got even worse. Bought a new Drag Link this morning at Gemini spares @ R450.00. (Which was not to bad). Returning home, I was ready for a 10min job... Just to realise that the knuckle on the Pittman Arm wasn't feeling A Okay. Costed me another R600.00 at N1 4X4.

Good thing you found out through inspection rather than the side of the road... Damn lucky indeed it held out for as long it did.

Re: Damn Lucky
I know the feeling.NOt happy about the cost of the repair and the fact that something has Brocken on the vehicle.Big bonus is you managed to get home okay and safe and to be able to carry out the repair on your own turf.If one considers the other possibilities had the steering broke whilst travelling ????

Jis nee kyk Robbie... Soos Chris sê, gelukkig het jy geluister.
As ek moet raai is daai een van die "swak" plekker op ons bakkies (dit is nou as mens hulle nou gebruik soos ons moet ) want myne is ook al op daai plek weer geweld. So lyk my dit is een van die punte waar mens roetine inspeksie moet hou na mens gaan speel het

Re: Damn Lucky
Dit is so Cassie, Gelukkig het ek dit betyds gesien/gevoel. Ek was regtig nie lus vir Chicken or Beef by hospitaal nie. Ek wou hom inteendeel skoon maak met grinder en self weer opweld, en het baie vertroue in my sweis vermoë, maar doen maar eerder nuwe een as speel met lewe.CasKru wrote:Jis nee kyk Robbie...

Janee, of jy nou kan weld of nie...daai ekstra R600 is niks nie.

Re: Damn Lucky
Stef, ek het gister pryse gekry by verskei plekke op 'n nuwe Drag Link. Die goedkoopste quote in Pta was vir R1200.00. Het toe kompleet een gekry by Gemini Spares vir R450.00. Al wat effens na swak gehalte gelyk het was die studs wat in die springs pas. Ek het my ou Drag Link s'n sommer gebruik daarvoor. Ongelukkig was tyd 'n faktor gister middag, en moes toe noodgedwonge 'n Pittman Arm by N1 4X4 koop @ R600.00. Glo ek sou goedkoper weggekom het by ander verskaffers, maar aan die ander kant is die nuwe een baie goeie kwaliteit. Hulle het nog een in stock by N1 4X4 Tak by Montana Retail Park, Zambesi Weg.Stef wrote:Janee, of jy nou kan weld of nie...daai ekstra R600 is niks nie.

Quentin, dan is dit ook maar goed ek het nie daai mud pit 'n tweede keer probeer die naweek nie? Of dit was dalk die Mole Snakes wat hom gekou het terwyl ons langs die vuur gesit het.

Ek het R450 betaal net vir die kit met die nuwe springs en cups ens. N1 se onderdele lyk nie na slegte kwaliteit nie. Ek soek een van daai offset drag links wat kan stel

Re: Damn Lucky
Sopas quote gekry op Pittman Arm by Gemini Spares = R800.00. En ek kan met eerlikheid sê, die een van N1 4X4 is die ware Jacob. Lyk presies dieselfde as die oorspronklike.

Re: Damn Lucky
Balljoints on a SFA? Maybe you're referring to the tie-rod ends - those need to be checked as well (if there's no play on them they're good). Also check the ball on the "J" arm (where the other end of the draglink connects) - it's just as important as the one on the pitman.

Re: Damn Lucky
Why is it necessary to replace the whole drag link if you can just buy the kit with cubs and springs? Just for interest Allan (Hoppy) do still have stock of that round balls which come on the pitman and J arm for R350.00 each.

Re: Damn Lucky
The N1 4x4 service kit for the draglink includes the balls, but are threaded on the stud whilst the originals are press fitted IIRC
