I need to find somebody that is replacing some of these joints. You have to grind out the cone shaped bolt from the original joints and re-use it in the new link and a couple of mine are in bad shape. I'm hopin to find somebody that can pull some out of a scrap dumpster and send em to me. I'd hate to have to buy new joints just to trash em out for a bolt.

Still lookin for any info on these if anybody knows anything about em. These were the hottest thing on the market a few years back and now they seemed to have died, what does everybody else know that I don't. About the Lukes Links that is.

I was all set to buy one...then started reading mixed reviews about the product. I read a few posts that said the link can hit the diff housing and things like that...so I kiaboshed my order. So, I dunno if its good or not.
