i sheerd off two 3/4 chrome moley heims at the same time they lasted for 6 months under heavy abuse and then they broke and i have some that are streching at the threads is there somthing stronger ?what about the big jonny style joints i hear there are some that use a 3/4 bolt where are they how much?any other ideas ? what about acme thread ?i need somthing strong if you can help go for it.
keep in mind that the machine has 500 horse 2.5 ton rockwells and no concern for my life as long as sombodys whaching:D and one size 12 on the floor .

Try this addy for more rod end options
http://www.aedmotorsport.com/FK/index.html
You'll find several different ends and shear, torsoil, and tensil strength values. No Johnny joints though, and though you may be able to get acme threaded material in high carbon, chromo is what your gonna want and you'll have to have a tread roller do that for you.

Your Heims did good to last you 6 months. You just need to replace them every 2nd or 3rd run....

Heims were designed for AIRPLANES, not 8K # 500 HP tube buggies!

Looking at the picture I'm guessing that's what you need. Now just get the info from Camo, break out your pink change purse, and buy a dozen. Oh, don't forget to get me a 6 pack for digging this information up :flipoff2:

So you'll post back when you find out where to purchase these bigass heims???? Also let us know what you pay per joint.

They said in another post that there are only 19 guaranteed positions (due to previous top 10 finishes) so 21 competitors can enter the unlimited class regardless of if they have competed or not. Just send them you $75 and you should be good to go.

Here's a good informative thread over at SRC about aurora joints. http://www.sierrarockcrawlers.com/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=813

Somebody on there says another source is:
www.radialbearing.com

Supposed to have same joints for a couple bucks cheaper.

avalanche also sells 1 1/4 joints...little higher load rating than the polyperformance ones and I think $75/joint. But I'm using the ones from polyperformance on my rear suspension and they make the 3/4 joints look like they belong on a barbie jeep
