losing dogbone pins?

[forescott]

I am starting to lose dogbone pins from my driveline. Not shearing off, but falling out. Anyone else having this problem?? Upgrades??

There are several others having this problem. If you search on here there are pics of o-rings or heat shrink. I went to grainger because I really wanted to bash this weekend and couldn't find any other pins and have dremeled out a divit where the grub screw goes and it has helped

Yeah, check to make sure you haven't lost the grub screw that keeps them in. Locktite on the grub screw and pin. Axel cups, boots, shrink tube are all added security from loosing pins.

Yes the loctite and the boots have eliminated this problem for me I was losing pins every run!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These might be the ultimate fix! The length should work because I am running 1 inch pins now with plenty of clearance yet. It says 3mm clips so I am guessing the pins are 4mm for $2.50 it's worth a try. If you still use the grub screw they should last for a long time

Green locktite will fix that.
