Trailblazer, I was also having the problem with the front dogbones being chewed up. did you ever find a solution? I have read to shorten the turning radius helps. I do not like this option, I am trying to figure out a new option, Has anyone figured out what the cause is? is it binding up because the slot in the knuckle arm is to small, and would opening the slot help? or is it the drive cup (the part the dogbone ball rests in) maybe would a bit more angle help to keep the binding down?
I filed down the cup on the axle side so there are not as sharp of edges for the dog bone to hit. decreasing the turning radius would fix it, and probably wouldn't affect turning too much. i read that if the turning radius is too much it can actually decrease how much your car turns[X(]
