after having the rear(shock tower end) ball cup come loose right in the middle of competition, i found that replacing that end with a DUBRO heavy duty ball link(p/n 2266. 2268 or 2315) fixes the problem once and for all. prior to that, i was using RPM long shank rod ends(4-40) p/n 73395 along with LUNSFORD superduty(3.5mm) turnbuckles.the DUBRO's fit the superduty's perfectly...............the DUBRO ball ends articulate perfectly fine for the rear.

Thanks for the info. I was wanting to replace the ball cups on my TC3 with Dubro ones. I think that I will look into it a bit more. Does someone know what part numbers I would need to get to replace all the ball ends and pivot balls on the car.

everyone has em on their xxxnt cuz for some reason, even if you use titanium ball studs, they break on hard landings.

several other methods to get a tight fit are using plastic to cover the ball stud and a hair drier to shrink thr ball cap, Now youll have a snug fit ,,RED
