Hey guys!
So here is the deal...I have a set of adjustable upper control arms on the rear of my Nissan Z32 however the PTFE-nylon liner in the spherical rod end has already pounded out resulting in a lot of backlash & require replacement.
They use a Male spherical rod end with a right handed M16x2.0 thread and a 16mm bore. Now I don't want to encounter the same problem again, therefore I would prefer to have an injection molded liner for the replacements. My issue is that all I can find on the internet are standard inch size rod ends such as the QA1 XM series.
I thought about modifying the adjuster bung threads with a Timesert to fit a 5/8-18 rod end, however it is out of the question since I don't want to pay ~180 just for the kit and it's not optimal.
Are there any performance metric alloy rod ends with injection molded self-lubricating liners out there???
