Ditto, I got my race car cert'd with rose joints. I also survived my armco experience, where I bent the lower arm, the tie rod, the t/c rod, and the strut, but the rod end was still is one piece, albiet the lining was slightly pushed out. I was using NTN SMRZ10 rod ends. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
