i was torqueing these rc shackles down and noticed it started bending the mount so i pulled it out and found the sleeve is just crushing. it wasnt even taking much pressure i was gona torque it to 90 ft lbs like my book says. anyone esle have this happen? and is there any reason i cant just use a regular piece of tubing to replace these?

 

Grimus would be the man to ask seeing as he's the RC representative.

 

IMO get iro shackle relocation kit. but either way I no installation is pretty straight forward but maybe u screwed up sumthin? I mean that's pretty embarrassing for rc...

 

nope i dont think i screwed something up i was just tightnening the bolt. i got some extra 4 link bushings and the sleeves are the same execpt better so ill just use those.
