On mine, I set the length, drilled through both locations, pinned it with nylon screws, and trimmed them flush. I'm not sure it's even necessary though. It made sleep better though I guess.What's the general protocol when the nylon pin shears? Set the shaft length and run it as is?
I installed a steel roll pin in mine but that kinda defeats the collapsible safety feature.
Great idea actually. I wouldn’t say it’s quite a replacement for the plastic shear pins, but much better than nothing. I may have to duplicate your idea.On mine, I set the length, drilled through both locations, pinned it with nylon screws, and trimmed them flush. I'm not sure it's even necessary though.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the factory even used actual "pins" per-se. I think the two locations were injected with melted plastic that solidified when cooled. Hell, you could probably do the same thing with some liquid epoxy or something similar in a syringe.Great idea actually.

Im not sure, I just remembered the rebuild kit Mopar use to offer. I thought it was a rivet or pin.I could be wrong, but I don't think the factory even used actual "pins" per-se.

Thank you, exactly what happened to me. Just fixedFixed....the coupler joint itself somehow got compressed way higher than it should have been, had to hammer it back down.
