Move to newb or 4x4 tech if applicable
I am getting around to building a 3 link front suspension/full hydro steering for my trail jeep. I built a triangulated 4 link last summer using all 1.25 heims from NWF. The suspension works great but after about 6 trail rides they started squeaking and sticking pretty bad, i even lubed them after every ride...Is there a big enough strength difference using JJ vs. 1.25 hiems? I wheel somewhat hard, not rock bouncer hard though. I am thinking it might be better long term using JJ because i dont want to buy new hiems every season.
Thoughts??
