Help with washers on Jakes LT for CC

mjribeiro · 05-01-2010, 05:46 AM

I can't get Ken on the phone at Jakes - he must be in big demand. The Long Travel kit for CC has 4, 7/16 washers that have a raised center portion. It's a spacer for something I just can't figure out for what. I was thinking for the king pin bolt that holds the spindles - Any ideas?

I couldnt figure it out either, I thought it was to be used between spindle and king pin. This would reduce friction between the two when tightened?

Are they heim spacers??

Yep, those are heim spacers. I think you should have eight, I believe they should space the upper and lower A-arms from the new spindles.

I only have 4 - if they are just for the spindle heims then that's all I would need, right? (each side needs 2)

Yep! one on top, one on bottom, repeat for other side=4!

Thanks! Flat side to the spindle or to the heim?

Guess you need to get with Jakes. I was thinking you need to double them for each side, flats in the middle, hence the need for eight. Do the instructions give you any clue as to the number in the kit?

Nothing in the instructions. I'll need to contact them on Monday.
