Hey Kuah. thanks for the Tracking number. The parts should be at my door on Tuesday the 20th. I just might have my Z back from the shop by then too (fingers crossed).

I can't wait to fix my dang clanking noise! Thanks for the fast response!

Just ordered a set.
Unfortunately I still haven't put on their A-arms, but now I can put them all on together.

Can't wait to see them in person.

just received the endlinks...
someone commented on another post that helm joints will not last for long on bad road conditions. I just got the endlinks and the roads here in CA are full of potholes and bumpy... worried that these endlinks might die on me.

Kuah can you comment on this?

We have many heim jointed suspension arms on customers cars for well over 3 years now, and most are still working perfectly on their original heim joints, without play or noise. My Z32, which just won 2nd place Modified RWD class in the recent Redline Time Attack, has heim joints on it that are ~4-5 years old. Even the stock endlinks are basically metal spherical bearings, in principle they work the same way as the rod ends/heim joints on our endlinks.

Life of the heim joints depend on not just the quality of the end, but the size, level and types of load. A heim joint used in an application with high frequency (high speed) rotational loads will certainly not last as long, but in automotive applications the loads are mostly static. An oversized rod end will also last longer in the same application, and we always use rod ends that are much larger than the load requires. We also use teflon lined ends which are self-lubricating, and will last longer than metal-metal ends or ends requiring periodic lubrication.

That said, heim joints do eventually wear out, but so does rubber or urethane bushings. We do offer replacement heim joints for our customers, and we do use standard size ends so you can buy replacement ends from many other places as well.

Just got mine yesterday. I will try to put them on this weekend if possible. I can say that they are a lot heavier than I thought they would be and they look a whole hell of a lot more stout than in the pics. When I picked up the ups box I was like wow, did they through some reocks in here for packing material, lol. I'll also take some pics when I get home from work today incase anyone wants to see.

Well I need to call SPL today. Got home and had a message that the endlinks are not in stock for about 1-2 weeks. A little disappointed but hopefully we can work something out. Need them by March 7-8th for a track day March 9th.

The more suspension products spl makes.....the more I buy.

Now I just need to get my car out of the bodyshop and into the tuning shop to put these babies to some use.
