Heim joint tie-rod ends

[Tbone07]

Anyone here ever convert their tie-rod ends to heim joints? I need new tie-rods and was looking at getting some new ends while I was at it

Heims are high wear parts. Stick to the normal rod ends if possible.

Especially on a xc quad.

I'm not worried about wear lol. Just something to make the front end even more plush/smooth.

my american star tie rods have heims, i have had them on a raptor for 5+ years of hard riding without issue. u will need to make a spacer that is somewhat shaped like an hourglass so the heim can fully pivot at the spindle, but they work great for me

Misalignment spacer is what they are. I have ordered a lot of parts from here.

Personally I use Heims (Rod ends) in all of my builds....Just makes it a lot easier such as when you get a set of used extended a-arms and they do not come with the tie rods...Since they have been using Heims in every kind of off road racing for years I think they will hold up to off road riding. Basically that is what the Pro-Trax setup is made up of is a Heim system. As a rule of thumb being that they are inexpensive I change my Heims once a year when racing a full year...  Everything you will ever need is available here...  http://www.speedwaymotors.com/?CID=1386&googleppc=yes&gclid=COja5Mypyr8CFUqVfgod9rUAYw        Also you can get any length radius rod you need from 5" on up as well as any coned spacer needed from this site. I will add pics to my post when I get a chance...
