Looks like its just snap rings that hold the bushings in place

[stockcar5]

you have to cut the ball joint plate down the middle and remove the snap rings. then reweld.

100 bucks for two really aint that cheap...

Southwest Speed was $38 2 years ago for aluminum shafts...we bought a bunch, just as good as AFCO...

We just cut em clean em and put them back on.No need to reweld the balljoint flange holds everything in place.

There 42.99 for alum shaft. I'm guessing I went through 6 of them last year in about 25 nights. The need to clean them never comes up. lol

Some are stuck when new, I always clamp them in a vise and grease/rotate them a bunch to get them moving free.
