mr p,, what high angular hiem ?? reason for asking i need to channge up my steering from the stock rod ends to a hiem, and also what recomends do you have as for as a spacer, metal / aluminum??

---

High angular heims give you more movement so the tie
rods wont go into bind... a standard usually WILL go
into bind at full travel... thats the reason mine
broke... the high angular will give you about 12* to
18* more angle (dependent on size)... as for the spacer
alum is fine if you have enough diameter so it cant
pivot

Where do you find the high angular ones?

---

I get them through Summit but they dont show them...
I give Summit the P/N and they have them drop shipped
to the house(this company doesnt deal direct)
Also they have a inset thing to change the standard
heim to a high angle..... they are acually called
high misalignment

Aurora chrome moly is the only rod end that I will use.

I use Aurora most of the time also

moly is always the best for suspension parts in my opinion due to the stresses involved. but what about other uses, such as push-pull motions in brake pedal rods, throttle linkage, battery cutoff switches, etc. also, is the general consensus more to a "lined" race[nylon/kevlar material] than non-lined[metal-to-metal] race?

---

The smaller stuff you dont need the big dollar stuff
like throttle... I dont even use a heim on the brake
pedal... tie rods you want good ones... if its a
chassis point(ladder bars/4-links I use the moly
no liner...I dont want that getting beat out and
having a loose/worn out heim... I clean and lube
them but you can try the dust covers

Should work fine
