I'm getting ready to build my steering and heard that some people don't like Heims for a DD.
What do you all think
TIA

But, if you dont have spare rod ends, you'll be stuck on the trail.
NO ONE ELSE?
So nobody carries spares tires? Spare parts? A heim is the size of the palm of my hand. That's not a con, that's called be lazy.
If you do run heims, it would be a good idea to bring spares wherever you go.
there is a company that make greaseable heim joints? I have worked on many KW trucks that had 3/8ths greaseable heim joints for their clutch linkage.
Heims are good for steering in my opinion, but be advised, in NC (and definitely many other states) they are ILLEGAL to have on steering. Since it is a daily driver and you plan to get it inspected, just keep in mind your steering isn't legal. Will they check? That's another story, but just FYI
Bryson, what brand heims are you using?
Huh, this is news to me. Any links to the portion of the general statute that outlaws them or?
I'd think that manufacturers and retailers would be more required to let you know that, Rubicons most basic adjustable track bar comes with a heim...
That same track bar has passed inspection more than once under my rig but I can't promise they checked.
