Re: Tubbed 55

This is not true on a Wishbone Track Locator. This is the correct and only way it can be mounted in order to make it work the way it was designed. The front joint does not keep the rear end from moving side to side. This is accomplished with the welded section of the bars. When the frame is on jacks and the front joint is disconnected you can not force it side to side. The front joint allows the suspension to travel up and down along with the slip joint. The slip joint will take care of the roll of the truck and uneven pavement with no strain on the front joint. If it were mounted the other way the first good bump in the road the front joint would snap.
