    Spherical End Links

    The nut on my spherical end link is completely frozen and I've stripped the nut :( Do you guys know where can I get new pieces? Tried searching here but couldn't find any sites. I'm in the middle of searching the vendors but doesn't seem they sell them alone. I contacted Patrick @ BMA to see if he could possibly hook something up.


    *EDIT*

    Rod End Bearings (Heim or Rose joints) are a critical part of a racecar suspension. We have sold Aurora bearings for many years. Race car rental shops prefer Aurora for their quality and durability.


    Found em but have no idea what sizes and I'm not next to my car right now. Does anyone have measurements by any chance?

      What kind of end links do you have? Most for sways are 3/8, but some people use metric too.

      I use ones from here, same as on the gokarts. You do need to get high misalignment spacers though.

        I'm not really sure to be honest. They are the kind that IE includes with their kit. I'll take pictures of the end link in a few.

        Thanks for the link, pretty darn nice pricing there!

            Looks like a male stud style endlink, but the top one is a regular female bolt through one with spacers. If you can figure out the thread (take to a hardware store and check it) You can just get a replacement male endlink and spacers or a stud style from many sources.

              Hey man, thanks for helping me out :)

              I contacted IE and asked them what sizes and ended up ordering male thru holes with new washers and nuts.
