Okay. that makes sense. I was one in a thousand failures. Thank you. Never imagined people would hate me for pointing out a failure in design.

Here ODDave: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/76286-broke-my-a3-dogbone.html

Already did. And the line would probably be served ABOVE the axle rather than tetherd behind it, just waiting for the leaf spring to slam into it once the torque rod fails/breaks/comes off bushing.

And you're posting drunk. be careful porky!

Well That was a great help considering I was talking abut the design. THANKS buddy. LOL now I have to inspect a military truck to drive over gopher mounds in my backyard..... Talk about contredictions in this thread.

That's fine, I did and found when a single rod came off the bushing, it CRUSHED the brake line leading to loss of brake fluid. Good thing it was noticed backing into my pole barn rather than on a highway. Bettter now than trying to stop on a highway behind a toyota. After looking at the...

This broke in my yard driving over gopher mounds in the back yard. Seriously? Special built military trucks to the lowest bidder. The fact that one rod failure will cause you to have brake failure speaks volumes. POOR design. How can you argue that? Put a steel shield over the brake line if the...

Don't other than the odometer and the minty condition of the truck. I would find that odd on an A3. Just because you say the design isn't flawed doesn't make it so. It is if you look at subjectively at it.

Well I don't think the tires are 20 years old considering the truck was rebuilt in 1998. I wish, cause then I wouldn't have to pay half the registration cost.

Suppose I was an engineer? I've built a lot of things, the design is non-redundant. Doesn't take an idiot to see that. One failure leads to catastrophic failure of your brake lines leading to death or injury. Paranoid enough to understand you have access enough to change my sig line, which you...

Okay so they failed to find the A3 rod about to fail with 5,000 miles on it? Still doesn't address my point. You have ONE point of contact with the leaf spring leaving all kinds of failure prone issues.

Tires are good. Sprayed soapy water around all tubes inlets including from the rear side of the rim. When I spray into the hole through the rim I get bubbles.

Are you testing me? Looking for a reason to ban? Been looking at private messages?

Not talking about older MV system, talking about now. W'ere only talking about 11 years. Normal truck http://imageserv8.team-logic.com/store-logic/categories/5/778/532.jpg You have the leaf spring with two contact points, and the middle supported by 4 bolts with possibly some torque bars...

I drive a truck for a living and every tractor I drive has two points which attach, not one.

Okay. Just bring a check for 10,000 dollars and we have a deal.

Sorry guys my lack of proper teminology. 2 piece rim. It's not leaking at the tube going into the rim, when I spray it into the hole around the tube I start getting bubbles. The seal between the two piece rim has a very slow leak. Takes two or three days to deflate.

Yes Sorry, but torque rods are not the only thing holding the axle in place today, my point.

Wondering what purpose does having the split rims have? Seems like another link to the road of failure. I have one tire going flat, spraying detergent and water around found it. It's the split rim. Can't be any easier to change a tire on the split rim than a single rim. 2nd issue, this is a...

Sweet! I would've went wider too(was thinking 52' or so), just couldn't fit it between the above ground pool and enough room between boundry line and a path to get between the boundry line to it on one side.. Is yours full too? LOL it's amazing how fast you can fill a barn bigger than your...
