Another busted weld

[1st turtle]

Well, I was on my way to work last Monday and another piece of my SwayLOC('05) fell into the road as I pulled onto the 18. The wing with the LOC notch in it separated from the spline block. It only had 1/16" of weld to hold the weight of a Jeep from swaying? Back to the shop with it and upgrade the welds! I am so lucky to be able to fix this stuff I've paid hundreds of dollars for!?!? HWY 18 and 330 taking its toll I guess. Any one else busting their SwayLOC? After this I should have it all dialed in.

Send them back to Steve at ORO. The newer versions have a notch cut into the wing that wraps around the spline block to give more surface area for the weld.

He is aware of the issue and should have no problem providing you with updated pieces.

If you'd like, I can call him for you.

Not to hijack this thread but I noticed you live in Arrowbear Al, a really wonderful area I have great memories of. Is the Arrowbear Music Camp still going strong I hope? I spent a lot of quality fun time there in the late 50's and early sixties as a young musician.

I'll give Steve a call tomorrow. The last time he sent me a replacement arm (drivers side) it was the same part and broke again in a few months, so I reassembled it and have not had a problem untill now. In '06 I pulled into extremeunlimited with a busted inner torsion bar with two more Jeeps sitting in the lot with the same issue. I am just glad they did not make my lift ';>)

Thank's for the heads up Blaine!


Yes, Band Camp is there. MMM Warm Apple Pie....Al a mode
