Thanks

i believe so

 

Here is a question along these lines....

Where can you buy the rods for heim joints?
Being more specific, where can I get the ones that are like what full-race uses?

I want to fab a few braces using these gold colored rods.

 

they are called Swedged (or Swaged) tubing. you order in whatever length you want.
most are for like 3/8" (steering linkage) , 1/2" , 5/8", or 3/4" thread heim joints
the straight tubing style ones are usually called "radius Rods" or "tie rod sleeves"

speedway motors is one place

There's a dirt track place called Smiley's local to us that has a ton of those rods.

those non spherical ends are called Eye Ends

You could also just buy solid tubing, cut to the correct length, then drill and tap yourself.

 

That is an option too.... that was my initial idea.

I have the F-R traction setup and I would like to match the bars on the custom pieces that I'm making.

Thanks guys.

solid tube? lol

its really easy to get tubing that has an ID near the OD needed for the threads, drilling and tapping is easy.

 

QA1 (Carerra) also sells them.

 

yea like its been said, its called a heim joint, or a universal.

 

A question and continuation on this thread, if you guys don't mind.

What is this part called? The black bolt going through the heim joint.
