I have a few issues in the dozen times running the truck stock.
Lost a couple of the rear knuckle bearings(6x12)
Why wouldnt they go with 8mm axles and 8x16 bearings?
Hinge pins are soft, bend easily and bind arms.
The last jump I did was small, 4 ft high 6 ft long of air. Landed flat off power. Broke a shock cap, and pulled the lower hinge pin out of the gear case.
Broke the hinge pin off at the threads.
And that was while landing in 3 inches of snow. Only thing I can think of was snow packed in the arms and maybe bound the suspension on landing.
I was surprised to hear that you are breaking hinge pins/bearings. I am running hard in 2-8" snow here in Alaska, 20-30 degree temps. I just had my first break yesterday (Lower A-Arm left side front), it was cold and I am sure the plastic might have been a little brittle because of it. The snow does pack in the arms pretty well. The Hinge pin is straight no bends and I hit HARD!!! I checked my bearings and hinge pins, no binding, bends or breakage. Wish you the best!
