Unless he is using 3/4 shank, 5/8 ball rod ends. Those are actually stronger than 3/4 / 3/4 Rod ends


BTW: A lesson to enhance your brain. Heims are a brand/originator, "The H.G. Heim Company" a German company, not the actually product, which is a spherical rod end bearing. However in the US we like to butcher and call a product no matter who made it one thing. That is like all the old people calling a Playstation a NINTENDO because that is the first game system they are aware of.

The spherical rod end bearing was developed by the Germans in World War II.[1] When one of the first German planes to be shot down by the British in early 1940 was examined, they found this joint in use in the aircraft's control systems. The H.G. Heim Company was given an exclusive patent to manufacture these joints in North America, while in the UK the patent passed to Rose Bearings Ltd.[2] The ubiquity of these manufacturers in their respective markets led to the terms heim joint and rose joint becoming synonymous with their product. After the patents ran out, the common names stuck although "rose joint" remains a registered trademark of Rose Bearings Ltd. Originally used in aircraft, the rod end bearing may be found in cars, trucks, race cars, lawn tractors, boats, industrial machines, go-karts, radio-control helicopters, and many more applications.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Yep, I used 3/4"-3/4" spherical rod ends with 5/8" misalignment spacers and inserts. I didn't want to drill the stock knuckles out to 3/4"....... doesn't leave a whole lot of meat on the steering arm to secure the bolt through 'em.

Those are actually stronger than a rod end with the same size ball and shank due to the extra material around the housing/ball.

If I remember it was like 18,ooo PSI for 3/4 shank-3/4 ball, then 32,000 PSI for 3/4 shank-5/8 ball.
