These are Crane gold rockers that have been fine otherwise for several years. Am going to replace all the adjusters in case they are getting tired. A search recommended Smith Bros. Should I order from them or someone else? TIA, Steve

Cost is $86 shipped for a set of adjusters and lock nuts. Info wise these adjusters are heat treated on the ball end which helps them resist wear. The threaded area not so much as that would make the metal harder and maybe a little more brittle. This is important because the rockers are aluminum and increase and decrease in size (due to heat) at a different rate that the threaded adjusters do. Not sure I've explained this properly, but that is my understanding. Seems as though the original adjusters that came with these rockers were hardened all the way through (my set is 10+ years old). Anyhow since one broke it is time for maintainance
