    Default lift strut to jury strut ??? alum fitting

    Not sure I have the terminology right but broke another of these small fitting, bracket, ? that holds the Jury strut to the main lift strut. Is anyone else having this issue?

    If it’s a early model they have upgraded jury strut attachment brackets. Call Jon Delemar at the factory he can help.

    I think I have the larger 1/4 inch bolt Assembly already as I had to put new struts on 2 annuals ago. Dang things had corrosion on the inside.

    Make sure you have the Iglide plastic bearing slipped in place. That isolates vibrations.

    Important is also not to over torque the nuts. The bottom should only be 28 in lbs and the top 40. You should be able to wiggle the jury struts by hand if correct. Here are 4 pages of the EX3 manual for installation of that part. I think it’s the same as the EX2 but you might want to confirm.

    Those photos are correct for EX2/FX2/CC11. Not EX3/FX3 which has an additional tapered washer on top and bottom of the strut to account for the strut not being flat on top and bottom like the earlier models. (for the eye bolt install in the lift strut)

    The jury strut installation is the same across all those models.

    Oh boooy..... Thanks Pete. You are correct. I do remember now Mitch telling me about that and using them but the manuals are wrong and not updated yet and I didn't add the change to my notes. I need to get those new drawings from him and update my Build Thread.
