Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys looking for some 7/8 unf rod ends who sells them and approx how much for the 7/8 with say a 3/4 eye.
Cheers Dave

depends if you want dodgy ones, or quality ones.

can get them from most bolt places for under 50 bucks.

but the good ones are 100+ from places like racer imports

You will find that the rodends will have the same eye diameter as the thread diameter ie 3/4unf-3/4 eye. What are you planning to use the rodend for ? There no good for suspension links on a daily driver/offroad endurance as there to harsh on mounting points (no give/shock absorbtion) ok on a buggy thou. I have shocks with plain self aligning bearings each end (similar to rod end/heim) and there chopped out in 2000 km, it not my daily driver !

Well there you go !!!!!

Thanks guys i knew the eye size could vary and they are for a buggy only application was just wondering what type of cost they are .
May look into getin from the US as they work out a bit chaeper not sure yet.
Thanks Dave

We are going to use them for a heavy duty tie rod on a buggy made out of some hex bar thought 7/8 as 80 series tie rod ends are 22mm diameter thread or there abouts.Would also like to use some on the control arms just at one end .

What size are people using , what make, were did you get them from and how much

cbc bearings stock them and so do statewide bearings.

i'm using the 3/4 by 7/8 inch chromoly ones in my steering, got them from abt. overkill considering i'm not even using hydro steer, but do you really want to go dodgy with your steering?

i bought some of the cheapies from a bolt shop to set it up with, and they're a dodgy piece of crap compared to the proper chromoly ones. no way i'd use them in suspension links, maybe a track bar

edit- they're just over 100 bucks a piece, so will ad up quick if using them in your steering, and front and rear links. but for that money, you get the weld in threaded slug for the link, and also mis-alignment washers

Guys not looking for the dodgy rod ends where not that stupid!
Just a good rod end from the US is $65 compared to $100 here so why not .
Goping to look at Go Gear and see what they can do.
