Acme shock response

[Dan L]

Dan, the only time we've experienced this is when the upper cabane bolt was not torqued to proper specs or incorrect spacer width was used. Please give us a call at 704-496-9022 Ext. 2. We'd be glad to send you new bushings and supply you with proper torque specs for your application.

Thanks for the response. That follows with what I assumed was probably going on. When I remove th skis I’ll get a good measurement on the width of the cabane. And it could be the pocket in mine will accept an on-center bushing. If so I’ll just make one from some 416 SS I have. That would keep it from pivoting around and also tighten the wheel camber. I have the heim joints threaded up as far as they’ll go now.

I believe you have straight 3” gear, which is what I usually run and some of them had a clearance problem with the pipes. They seem to very on cabanvees just a little.
‘If you put stainless in there, I’d put some TeFGel on it. We use it in my shop a lot for dissimilar metals. I use anywhere screws go thru aluminum. Also put it on my cables where they pass thru the fairleads. It’s good stuff!

Yes Chuck, I have straight 3” gear. But mine is Dodge gear and a Dodge cabane. My Airglas skis need fittings welded to the gear and when I bought the skis they furnished Dodge gear with the fittings welded on.

So, a little different setup than Cub Crafters gear.

Thanks for the tip on dissimilar metals grease.
