Single or double shear?

(1/4) > >>

Shawnben:
What is the difference between a single and double shear rear end housing?

thunder938:
The upper link mount is diff. Location is the same the double has two brackets one on each side of the joint.  The joint rides  between.  The single only has one bracket on the right / pass side of the joint.

gramps05:
More important than single or double shear, is the rear end STRAIGHT.......

justfreaky:
 As Dave said; Has brackets on both sides of the Rod End.
My oppinion; The only way to go on suspension mounts.

Yep.  When I stop being lazy, I'll be converting mine to a double shear.  With a double shear, the stresses are spread across two pieces instead of one.  Stands to reason that the linkage won't fall apart as easily with double shear.  The damage I had to fix this winter is mostly because I didn't have a double shear setup.  >:(  Now to get a look at someone's double shear setup to see what I need to fabricate to duplicate it.  I've looked at the Inex rules, but to be honest, their drawings need work.  They are too rudimentary sometimes, and I can't quite tell for sure if I've got it all figured out right.  I'd rather take a look at one personally and take some measurements, make my own sketches.  At least then I won't have to worry about being dq'd because I didn't read it right.
