I snapped the pivot bolt for the trailing arm pivot. It broke flush with the threads inside the frame horns. Anyone else have this problem before.

welded a washer to the broken bolt then welded a nut to the washer. A little bit of heat and it came right out.

Good work! I like crafty people. Crafty people come up with genius fixes to get me out of a hole and out of the woods. I depend on these folks after my 12th. That's why I pack a 30 pack. I'm on 11 now. I am trying to figure 5 big terrorists for 1 deserter. chipop, gulp gulp gulp. 12.

I'd make sure your trailing arm isn't bent or in a bind.

Had that happen once. Cut the old mount out and get one of the ones people use to convert swingaxle to irs and weld it in.

I got it lined up right but I put anti-sieze on it. Every thing I work on either gets locktight or anti-sieze :shock:
