Broken Jag rear - WARNING!

[rdorman]

The jag rear is strong but when it fails, it usually is not pretty.

You might also try Concours West Industries. They have a tubular lower a-arm as well as the billet one. I would think the tubular one would be considerably less expensive than the billet. They also have a BUNCH of other cool stuff for Jag suspension.

Jag rear ends suffer from torque steer (toe control), camber control (spider gear slop). The toe issue is usually a result of the bushing complience and any slop in the side spider gears in the diff. will result in loss of camber control.

I have seen where virtually every part in the rear has been created with an uprated, newly designed peice. If I had my way, it would get a new tubular lower arm, a carrier that would accept and upper arm, a tubular upper arm and an outer CV half shaft arrangement that will accept the plunge. But them it wouldn't be a Jag rear now would it!

Minimum would be the lower arm (with trailing arm) that would be fully adjustable and a modified hub for watts linkage. Seems to me some one could do that for a reasonable amount. Being a little creative you could even make one that will adjust camber. Plus the roll center needs lowered (easy to do), seems to me it is over four inches above the ground.

So who wants to be my test bed? How about a reasonable line of cobra related performance suspension pieces? If I only had more time!

DV, seems to me that Chris broke and upright (hub carrier) where the pin runs through the upright from the a-arm. But, I could be wrong!
