Farmer Joe Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 what is that crossbar from? looks like the stock 620 one from the drum brake setup. might have to hit up your local salvage yard to pick up some from a D21 or a 720... Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 exactly what neil said. You need atleast a 78-79 620 cross bar Quote Link to comment

Slap some Viagra on it............ :D .......... Do you think the end of the control arm where the ball joint mounts is strong enough? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Didn't you measure it first? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 you don't want a D21 shaft since the bolt holes are too far apart. I've address most of this in my vids on youtube and in the Mend build thread. If you didn't size the arm to the cross shaft first, you may have to build a custom cross shaft like the one Beebani uses on his adjustable upper arms. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 im pretty sure beebani's arms use the crossbar from the late 620, the ones with disks, or a 720 i would think.. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The ones he does that look similar....yes.....but I was talking about his adjustable arms....... http://www.ebay.com/itm/190729162210?item=190729162210&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:SS:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
dastunboy61o Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I gave the place the place that made it my hole upper arm along with the crossbar so they can use those measurements the. Cross bar is what make out shorthanded Quote Link to comment
dastunboy61o Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 It looks the same to me ? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Not the same. Take one of those ends with the grease fitting off.... Quote Link to comment
dastunboy61o Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Uhmmm. Far as I kno. Those nuts can't be removed. Well I was going to have one machined there all jerks here .... I'm Gunna rob parts off the truck where I got my spindle from. I'll use that cross bar which it is a 83 Nissan Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Took these while I was in the shop today. The "nuts" do come off, but they're on there really tight. Once you got them off, they would not work in the new arm anyway because there's no way to duplicate the thread they screw into. ..and the bushings for the 720 cross shaft/arm This is the 720 cross shaft.....you can clearly see the difference in this pic. The bolt holes are a bit bigger than the 521's. You'll want to sleeve them. I've got info about that on my ball joint mod, but I didn't come across them just now. You've got bigger fish to fry at the moment anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
dastunboy61o Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well that help....the question is can I use the cross bar from a "83" 720 ? Finding a bushing wouldnt be the issue .... Are the bolt hole the same distance or not at all? After all said and done ill mock everything up on my junk truck before I tear my running truck down for the swap.... Bigger fish ? I'm confused haha? Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well that help....the question is can I use the cross bar from a "83" 720 ? Finding a bushing wouldnt be the issue .... Are the bolt hole the same distance or not at all? 83...is about 3 1/8+ 83+ is about 4 3/8 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 bigger fish to fry as in bigger problems to solve first.......such as getting a cross shaft and bushings that will work with the arms that are already built. Anyone know if the 620(disc) cross shaft has smaller holes like the 521? The holes are spaced the same as the 521. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is what they look like removed from the arms....... http://www.ebay.com/itm/370654518648?item=370654518648&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:SS:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think we talked in a pm about pulling the lower arms. I decided to do a vid to make it easier to understand since it's kind of hard to get in text format. http://youtu.be/0v5h0ESZMbU only the first half pertains to this.....the second half was dealing with some of the other ball joint mod.
