Replacement Heim for RE 1600

Ok, I asked about this in a thread I highjacked a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't find it again in a search. I am replacing the heim in my RE 1600 track bar (it has finally started popping after 3 years). I would like to put in a better joint than RE uses -- recommendations? Also, if anyone can recommend a retailer in the Colorado Springs area who might stock such a joint, I'd appreciate it. TIA
 
Check any "Bearings" source. You want and Aurora RH thread HD alloy rod end with teflon inserts in the right size. It'll be around $45-$50.
 
I would go with a johnny joint. M.O.R.E. in Rifle carries them. mountainoffroad.com
 
You can replace it with a TRE instead if you want. I ordered one last week, but I know of a few people who have already used it with no problem.

BTW, my earlier thread was wrong. It is a left hand thread.
