Bennett131 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I lIke my hiem joints. I'd much rather them then ball joints. I'm sure the trophy trucks that run them do for a reason. Trophy trucks can replace them after every race. I personally have never had any luck with longevity out of one's I've ran. They start squeaking in a week and get loose. Maybe it is the coal? Idk I just don't trust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsasheething Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Gotta keep the lubed up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Gotta keep the lubed up too.Dry. Keeping them lubed attracts dirt. And keeps it around. At least dry it has a better chance. But I do like the graphite dry lube 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do like the graphite dry lube i thought graphite lube was common sence on non greaseable heim joints? I use heim joints on my jeep builds there just 10x the size of tthese little guys.

I spray the graphite in and move them around. It builds up in the Teflon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasheething Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 On the non teflon joints it works wonders. Takes the sqeeking right out of them. Sent from my SM-G360P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thought trophy trucks ran unibals, or spherical bearings these days. Even if you use heims your gonna need to machine spacers to mount them. Get some delrin and make your own bushings and sleeves. Cut the messed up sleeve off with a hole saw that just fits the od of the tube. Easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe.Laub Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 If your looking for new heims that will last a long time get them through Aurora, or Midwest Control. I use chromoly heims on the promod builds for front and rear suspension. They can take some serious shock so no doubt they will hold up to a banshee. Heims will be a Smoother articulation than stock, but as stated previously, u will have to make your own bushings/spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
