gasgasssser Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I`ve decided to renew the dog bone bearings on my 04 290.I`ve noticed that the bolts which go through the (new)bearings and bolt one end of the dog bone to the frame, are quite loose,just a normal kind of fit,not what you would call a presision fit.Similar at the opposite end. The bolts are new so i`m assuming this is normal. What do you guys think?,also should there be any play at all when its all bolted back together?

titanium Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 If you have play, I would check the heim? (not sure of spelling) joint at each end of the shock. If the bolts and bearings are in good order, and tightened up, there should be very little play in the linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) i've just changed the dog bone bearings on mine & found exactly the same! there is just lil bit of play between the bush and bolt. I did find tho, that when i bolted all the linkage up there was no problem and the bearings seated fine.
