This is our SFW Exclusive Misalignment Link Mounting Crossmember specifically for Large Flex Joints. It is design provides built in misalignment for Large Flex Joints. The features of this exclusive SFW product are as follows:
- CNC cut and formed from 5/16 and 1/4 A50 Plate Steel
- Top and bottom plates are 5/16 with the center misalignment tabs being made of 1/4.
- Bracket comes un-painted and un-welded.
- Ships un-painted and un-welded. SFW suggests having it welded by a qualified welder
- Total of (6) pieces that snap together with slots and tabs
- Formed across the back and designed to be welded to 1.75" tube Cut outs in top and bottom allow for easy clean out of debris
- Bolt holes are 9/16 for mounting Large Flex Joints but can be drilled out to 1" for rod ends without reducing mis-alignment.
- The misalignment is accomplished by using specially designed tooling and high tonnage press. It offsets the 1/4" material to the inside of the tab by .25". This eliminated the need to use washers, spacers when mounting Large Flex Joint and adds significant strength to the bracket..
- While we recognize that in most cases when properly mounted the Large Flex Joint should not touch the side of most mounting tabs at full flex. However, it is still common practice to use some kind of spacer when mounting these joints. The SFW Misalignment brackets totally eliminate any need for spacers and provide unrestricted movement of the Flex Joint.
- As you can see in the pictures there is no way the joint will touch the tabs at full flex. The head of the bolt and washer sit recessed in the misalignment.
- The bracket is setup for mounting your controll arms at 22.5 degrees per side.
- This bracket is huge measuring over 18" wide and when put together is over 4" tall..
Price includes one complete bracket system for a total of (6) unwelded/unfinished pieces. No hardware is included. Rod Ends and/or Large Flex Joints, nuts, bolts and misalignment spacers that may be in picture are for reference only and does not come with this purchase.
