so now that the attacks have successfully been diverted on to myself and my character let us all agree that these products are top notch and that we should all buy some…
YAYWIN4ME!

Not exactly… there is plenty of information in the thread that says otherwise…
I believe the reason he called you a loser was simply the fact that you went as low as attacking his age…
Kindof when you attack me being outta school… Guess that’s what happens when I’m taking a 5 year program and I’m 3 years younger then you…
My personal favorite was the parts about not needing boots on your rod ends… That just made my day…
do the research bob, as professoinals.
dust boots hold IN dirt and debris as much as they prevent SOME from getting in.
perhaps research why i chose these rod ends in the first place… oh yeah…
SELF SEALING
ie. nothing gets in to eat away at the liner.
OMGANOTHERWINFORBING
we can keep the bickering here guys…
i have KEPT you concerns, Ian, in the other thread, your comment about shear at the beginning of this arguement because i am not trying to hide anything.
however,
if we are going to argue we can keep it in here so the people who dont care what any of us have to say dont have to listen to it
i even deleted the comments in some of my larger posts to remove attacks out of them in the thread…
but all is fair in here…
so come on guys… make fun of my education some more, or my car, or my beautiful fiance…
ok…GO!
i say we settle this with a good old fashion drag race.
Self sealing, well seeing at you never tested the rod end I guess we’re going to have to wait and see how effective they are…
I mean you’d believe anything the distributor tells you so, might as well just assume right?
you do know these applications are made for offroad racing right?
how about you just go make your own, both of you make them better for cheaper then come sell them to us… please do.
I’m aware, yeah…
It’s not dirt I would be worried about, and the simple fact is that offroad guys powerwash their undercarriage after use…
Oh and they don’t have to deal with salt water, and so on so forth…

but there are dust boots.
mine dont have dust boots, mine are the cheap version heim joint, i drove them every day this year and mine are not sheared. I wash mine maybe once every 4 months at most and when i do i oil them, if they get squeeky, i oil them…
if you take care of your shit… they dont break… imagine that.
ALSO… have you driven an s chassis with no rear upper control arms?
well i have and you DO NOT spin out of control and kill people.
i have also driven an s13 with broken tc rod and broken traction rods.
you do not spin out of control and kill people.
officially the dumbest, most un useful thread on all of son :bash:
thank you
i am sorry all this shit happened inteh first place
STFU if you don’t know what you are talking about.
This thread can be good for various parties.
If Bing has proved to you that his product is top quality, great for him, and great for potential buyers because it instills confidence in the product.
If Ian & Bob have proved that his product is not quality and could be dangerous, good for potential buyers to know their concerns.
^^^
i guess that is good too, lucky for me that other companies have proven that this is not dangerous at all
Hiding behind that screen again…

More power to the person if they do the regular maintainence, but most people install it and forget about it…
Break a suspension arm can have different effects based on random occurances… you may be on a straight smooth road and you might not be adversely affected, or you could hit a pot hole and the added stress might break an already close to death link, or it might just cause enough flex or misalignment to send the car out of control.
Keep in mind Jesse, you are a better driver in terms of recovery from the amount of practicing you do… this isn’t the case for everyone…
Just to add without trying to insult anyone…
I talked to a couple people; QA1 is a well known and reputable company, and their products are in fact used on dirt cars. However typically they swap them often, and are the first component to break in a crash (probably intentional). But under normal driving conditions, they are unlikely to break if they do not seize. If you hit a curb (hard), don’t expect them to stand up.
Aluminum does corrode and rot given the right circumstances, especially when against a dissimilar metal.
So they’re probably just fine for most of us to use… so someone get them and then we’ll all see.
One form of rot on the aluminum ends happen under the cirucumstance of salt water…
Just to clarify… teflon impregnated surfaces GRAB dirt, hold it and grind it into the surface… be it alloy or steel or plastic… this is the other edge of the self lubricating surface design…
Also you will notice that you happened to try an attack me , personally before I called you a looser for trying just such a ploy… what are you 7 with selective memory loss??
It’s not that the product IS dangerous… I’ve stated that given the right build specs an aluminum pc CAN be just as strong as an ferrous pc. however the spces for size are vastly different. What you’ve shown is a part, in aluminum, that is of a similar size to that of the steel, I’ve shown that in a given size/thread pitch, in cromoly vs alloy that the cromoly IS stronger… NOT the other way around… Also circle tracks and even dirt tracks are not subject to random pot holes or bridge expansion joint misalingments or curbs… those are the things that bend cromoly and make an aluminum part useless.
aluminum is good for some parts, very good, but in the areas your working with… it’s the wise engineer who over builds and over compensates that comes out on top… which you are not doing. Living at the edge is fine… but not when it comes to your suspension… the things that keep your car going in the direction you point it…
i’m not over building?
my load ratings are more than DOUBLE ANY OTHER ROD END AVAILABLE ON ANY OTHER MULTI-LINK SET UP FOR THESE CARS,
go to SPL… checked their site… they dont list the load ratings anymore…
they use CMT or EMT QA1 rod ends with load ratings in the 6 - 9000lbs range.
SPL / Peak / BV all use hig misalignment rod ends in the same range. I used those same rod end, in 5/8" on my tension rods for over a year with no problems… through the winter… and the load rating was under 7000lbs…
the china gear that is coming over that is being sold by C-Tune / TCS / Ebay / Powertrix etc. etc. is all 12mm coarse threaded rod ends with grease fittings…lol
there is not company using more than a 16mm rod ends on the rear multilink… 5/8" = just under 16mm… and the company that SAID they were using those rod ends was in fact using QA1, so they were likely using the same 5/8 but a lower end rod end.
however, neither you or bob knew that and i do.
what that means, as stated clearly in this thread and on my site is that i am offering the highest spec of rod ends in the whole entire industry for these types of arms.
please rationalize how i have NOT over built them?
also, in the picture i showed as a comparison of OD / ID you can see that the smaller pieces were 3/4" with a 5/8" thread or 16mm OD with a 12mm thread for hte china gear.
other comapnies are using the same specs, proven because the china gear, as mentioned is showing up under various brand names.
even these companies who have no involvement in the development of the parts are not having any major warranty or safety concerns.
so please again
since i am using 7/8" OD with a 5/8" ID and the highest spec rod ends on the market… please tell me how mine are not overbuilt…CONSIDERING THE MARKET
if you are implying that they MUST be invincible then you are kidding yourself.
until you show me a better one, i shouldnt even have to reply, however i feel obliged to counter your fear mongering
CHICKEN RUN, do it, ill watch
