Figured I'd ask in this thread. I just did a little test run in the street of my Savage. I'm using the FLM XL bulk's, Savage XL HD dog bones. Made a quick turn, rolled the truck in doing so one of the dogbones popped out of the axle (at the wheel) which locked up the steering rack. My guess is the the outdrives for the diffs that came with the FLM bulk's let the bone go too far in. Just looking for suggestions, like a spring or fuel line the keep the bones pushed out enough. I think fuel line will be too small inside the outdrives. I'm sure I'll figure something out, just thought I'd post here and get some ideas.

they are bending from the cartwheels. your truck is especially vulnerable to this because you have axle extenders on your truck and heavy tires as well. that is a recipe for disaster as far as bending dogbones goes.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

FLM makes some big meaty ones and Hot Racing has some titanium ones but they are expensive.

These are all I use and have no problems anymore.
