Just thought I would bounce this idea across yooz!
The drag link that fits across the front of a Disco and has a ball joint at each end. This is notoriously difficult to adjust as both ball joints seize into the threaded tube, which comprises the drag link. To adjust the drag link, it appears that the usual aproach is to get a fcuk-off big pair of stilsons and try and rotate the tube, thereby screwing both ball joints in or out as required. Not as easy as it sounds, judging by the "chewed to buggery" marks around my drag link.
Has anyone tried welding a big nut onto each end if the tube, about 4 inches in from the ends, so that you can get a spanner on the tube? It seems such an easy mod, that would be very useful.
What are your thoughts on this?
