I was thinking of going to the ones with lube fittings in them.

Have you guys tried them???

I can get those at two different places.

Tru,
The lube fitting can be a source for a stress fracture.Just like in a u - joint.It becomes the weak point.

Jim Woodard did alot of research into the rod ends for 4 links.Those ends mentioned above are what ended up on top.

Maybe Jim will chime in here.

Fred's got the magic touch for adjusting these 4-bar setups so that the car will launch straight. He's going to tell me how to set mine up.....his rates are reasonable...

Kristen, you still looking for a side-kick in the truck? What happened to the brother?

Thanks for the intel on the lube fitting units.

I just don't think it's gonna work.
I don't mind pulling it by myself, but a 'caravan' with Dave, Jay, wouldn't be too bad. My hubby is just concerned about me goin' alone. Bubba don't wanna make it work....

I can go to Austin/Tulsa by myself.... Ohio seems a long way away. Never been there, either. Sorry, Dave for hijacking the thread, again.

Anyway, Dave, when are you going to/coming back from LCS, and who with?
Thanks. K

Kristen, travelling alone, wife heard the details, wants no part of it, kids have jobs and better things to do than watch white men behaving badly. I am trailering the beast, leaving Wednesday evening or very early Thursday. Should be there Thurs. night. Its about 15 hours of driving. Will leave LCS mid-day Sunday and be home Monday. If you want to caravan, that works for me.

Okay, well look, I gave Kristen the motel we are staying at. If you get in and there are probs. ring me.

Even if you follow one or the other, it would be better than going it alone.
