Just seeing where i could these kind of bolts...i am thinking about making my own traction bars and want to have the movement in the supports.

 

What size and type of material are you looking for?

 

i thibk what you are looking for is called a hiem joint

 

yes, heim joint, or rod end. they come in aluminum, mild steel, and 4130 chrome-moly. what are you looking for exactly? for a typical traction bar, mild steel 1/2 inch rod ends/heim joints will be fine. good luck

i didnt know the name of the part so my search for them was coming up with nothing. Any idea where a good place to get them would be?

 

Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies

 

I think y'all would like this place better:

http://www.aedmotorsport.com/FK/CM_CF.htm

They sell FK rod ends, which come in a wide range of materials, metric sizes, and both left and right thread. If you need a size bigger than 12mm email dave@aedmotorsport.com, he can special order sizes up to 20mm.

You can't beat the price, and I like the metric thread. Some Kia guys have made adjustable panhard bars for our rear suspension, but they used standard SAE heim joints and had to have bushings machined. I just bought a RH 19mm and a LH 12mm heim, and an aluminum bar; drilled, tapped, and was done.

I think Honda guys will like the fact that they can use these joints with their OEM bolts.

 

also unless your planning on greasing them often, get a greasable set

 

mcmastercarr.com sells them I think
