HELP! Rear radius arms needed!

Hey Guys,



I am in a bind literally, we are getting ready to make a 3500Mile road trip starting this weekend, so I just dropped the truck off at the alignment shop to get the alignment done, cause i knew the back was out a bit as its wearing the new tires already...



Well I just got a call saying that both rear radius arms are siezed...



I called HPG, but it is going to be cutting it close getting them here in time without paying more for the shipping than the parts are worth...

I also put a call into Roy at Crazy Canucks 4x4. but havent heard back yet...



but if anybody has a set of radius arms (complete, the new style with the 11deg ends) that I can either buy off them or replace with a new set when the replacements I order arrive...

I will cover all the shipping costs.



HPG cost on the part is $165 per radius arm. I will pay a bit more if it means I can get them here by Thursday...



I am located in Vancouver, BC.



THANKS!

Paul

Sorry bud I don't have the parts you're looking for. If you are coming up north on your trip, I am located in Prince George. Will buy you a coffee if you're headed up this way.

Cheers, Bob

ok partial crisis averted, after the guy from the shop called me, the owner went and had a go at the radius rods, and with a really big pipe wrench and some heat managed to get them to turn...

so they got the rear end setup!!! I am still going to order in a set of replacements cause the old ones are chewed up... but they should get me thru my trip...



but what they did find is that my right rear rim is bent... it has almost an inch of wobble to it....

I thought that these were supposed to be some heavy duty rims... there is no sign of impact damage to it...



so now the searh starts for a factory 17" wheel.... or maybe a set of the 12 spoke cepeks....

Check with Darcy aka Heavy De, he has some Rims.....and maybe a rear radius too..or give Phil a call.. he stocks parts also...Phil can be reached anytime and I am sure would get the part couriered out to you pretty quick.
