Nasty crash dude. I have looked at himen joints and eyelet ajustable dofers at speed shops and when i ask about the free play in them they so they dont have any,then I ask this new one does?O that should be their they reply ....I've looked a couple of times at different places but always can pick up a sloppy one.... I'm sticking with factory Nissan parts. If you wanna have ajustable rear end,The front bolts from a vailant or falcon ,do work with slotted holes,but can/do come loose (hey but so do the factory ones) Malcolm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandejas, Ignacio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 11:42 AM Subject: RE: Rally question
