What ends do you recommend for custom track bar?

Lol.
I was gonna suggest using or making the tool they provide. I've seen guys use a punch, including myself the first time around, and that doesn't hold. You have to crank those joints way down. I've never had an RE joint loosen and I've got way more than 100k miles on my RE arms.

I have had RE SF joints loosen so I made an adjustable spanner for tightening them. A couple of feet of steel straping and three screws is all it takes.
They need to be as tight as you can get them.

That's what I should make. hah

I've been using a punch, so I suppose I probably haven't gotten them as tight as I CAN. However, I wore out the original plastic bushings after maybe a little over a year of use...so I can't help but ponder if there's more going on then just the bushings wearings quick.
