Anybody ever put Johnny joints into factory radius arms?
Google shows TF makes some for a D1, but not for a D2.

I want to 4 link the rear, but was thinking this maybe a more viable option for now. My factory rubber bushings are about shot and I dont have the funds to do a 4 link right now... since I just put in F+R air lockers.

I could always get Bill at Overtyme to fab some custom radius arms with a JJ end, but if I can make them fit into the factory hole that would be ideal.

TF made JJ'd trailing arms, not radius arms(AFAIK). The fact is, trailing arms on a d1 already flex plenty. As long as you have radius arms, you'll always bind. You may bind less with different bushings, but until you go with a totally redesigned radius arm, you'll always be limited. RTE is/was working on a unique setup, you may want to contact them

You're not going to gain anything... the radius arms bind at the axle and putting a orbital at the frame isn't going to change that...

Maybe I should have read Zack's post
