axle wrap with 4 link!!

just put the rear air bags in, i got 4 bars running forward the top bars welded to the meatball to the top of the frame, and lower bars welded underneath axle to inside of frame, when i give it gas my whole axle rotates and when i shift it makes a loud clunk. Could this be because i have my upper bars angled outward to much???

ya thats what we checked if i have the truck off in gear parking brake off i can rock the truck back and forth forward and back, my axle rotates it moves up and down quite a bit i held all the tabs and bolts none of move, but i was thinking my top bars are really angles outward what if i had less of an angle pionting toward the cab more???

how are the rod ends on the 4 link bars are they all tight i don't mean the bolts but the actual rod ends

ya checked em made sure there tight too

pictures worth a thousand words, go get some.........

check to make sure your bolt is the same diameter as your tabs bolt holes an if you using a bolt that is only threaded a quarter distance an smooth or sleeved the rest you might be tightened onto the thread end but not tight in the tabs ... understand?

mine did this when i stripped the threads off that go into the 4 link bar the rod end was actually moving in and out of the 4 bar

k ill dbl check on that stuff and see if i can get pics up thanks

same thing here, but is ur bolt that goes through the tabs and the bar heim as big as the hole where its a tight fit? that may be the problem

well i figured it out my lower bars where i have it bolted to the frame i had a spaced out from the frame the tube i used was bigger than the bolt so it was walking around in it.
