RE:Where to get heim rod ends?

Anyway, were the rod ends that were worn out were on the rear camber links, right? What kind of material were they, specifically the inside liner, steel,nylon etc.
And how long did you run them.
The reason I'm asking is that I don't see rod ends wearing out that much at the track. Maybe I'm not looking at the right cars.


I go by Spec 1 amongst the team since I'm the founding member

Spec 2 ran a Mustang until last week when he bought the L98 C4 referenced in a few of my other threads, Spec 3 runs a Mazda (he's the import arm), and newly annointed Spec 4 is Matt26R here on the Guru.

The end that is worn is on the toe arm actually. At the hub. I thought it was a bad bearing due to the slop, but further inspection revealed that the slop was in the heim end. It's off the car and dissassembled, so it's difficult to duplicate the slop without the leverage of the wheel (just like a bearing failure).

They've been on the car for a few years, maybe 3 seasons? It's hard to say what kind they are, but they are greaseable so I doubt they're the teflon lined type.

I'm happy to send it to you or CC should someone want to dissassemble and inspect.
