This allows them to still have the movement you want, but the arm will be unable to twist because its wedged in there. > > kind of like this… > > but in that pic (shows TREs, not heims… but the same theory) imagine the bodys of the joints out of alignment, and the bolts are lined up. > > follow me? or did i make a mess of that explanation? :lol > > I can try to get a pic of my tie rod if you want, i have a hydro assist ram attached to it which was making it flop around until i maxed out the heims like i said yellow part is a rapid prototype part, probably nylon from a SLS- selective laser sintering process. Awesome stuff, and I found a website a while back from a company that will make it and send you the part on the cheap. as far as the slop in the arm, that does make sense about twisting it, but wouldn’t it cause binding to have the joint maxed out? also curious how much those tube clamps weigh. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mikes-sol/235240)._
