fellow wrenchers- can you recommend some good websites to order threaded rod and spherical rod ends from??

thanks,
-Brian

mcmaster.com has all you need.

go to www.fastenal.com and search for Rod ends. I'm a store manager and I can get anything Mcmaster has. Give me some part numbers and I'll pass some savings on to you if you pay to ship em.

No Coast Motorsports/Checkpoint Racing is located a few blocks from Denver's Fastenal store. We had a bunch of stuff we were planning to order from McMaster and went in there to see if what we were looking for was on the shelf there. Didn't see much. Didn't ask anyone, but okay.

Trailing arms or LCAs? That trailing arm would be a lot of work to make.

I need to plate my OEM UCA and LCA for now in the rear, but I'd be interested in some tubular stuff.

How long do the spherical rod ends last before rally grit destroys them?

Ironically I was thinking about how I need front control arms like Sean's. Dave's BMW is begging for some too.

LCA's there are plenty of options and making some its not that hard at all. Its the trailing arm itself, not too much of an endeavour and can actually be made to be stronger where the stub shaft mounts to. Get rid of the front toe link and make the toe adjustible by the LCA. It would be badass specially if we could relocated the monting for the upper control arm and make it longer to allow more travel.

Show me what parts you would like me to copy? and send me a set and I will do it.
and call 425 463 5307

full 4130 trailing arms if we make an order for 5 cars, maybe $250 and trailing arm.

Im looking for a mono ball or something rally tough for the front lower control arms of 08 up Subaru?

They changed the way the lower hooks to the car and it doesnt look to have rally strength or travel built into it.

Parrin makes an insert but I think its more track stuff then rally.
