 And use greatstuff...
This seems like a kind of 5hitty design to me.
The original and the replacement brackets have openings on both sides of the frame of just a few mm, but enough to collect and fill w/ debris and lead to corrosion and then failure. It is real common problem here in the rust belt.
I had a local body shop replace the supports for me and then I filled them w/ greatstuff (the expanding foam) to prevent 5hit from collecting in there, and finally swapped in the 26mm front bar and poly bushings. |
