OK, as I'm trying to decide what to do about my steering for a temporary solution I'm running into a big choice: heims or tres. Seems that each one has benefits and each one has faults. The way I see it
Heims
1. Less slop when new
2. More prone to wear
3. Smaller operating range/radius (whatever you call it)
4. Don't have to deal with reamers or anything like that during the installation.
TREs
1. Depending on steering design, might be more prone to slop/dead spots (inverted T for example).
2. Doesn't wear out as fast
3. Bigger operating range/radius then heim
To prevent wear, or to combat wear in heims, I've come across references to greseable heims as well as to rubber boots for heims which kind of enclose them like the boots on the tre's.
Am I missing anything in that list? Is there anything that anyone can add to it?
Thanks
Remi
