Has anybody got any experience with these track rod ends from compbrake

I'm going to be replacing mine and I was wondering if this is a worthy upgrade

Depends if the spherical bearing is actually any good and how much replacements are as and when they wear/fail.

you could probably knock your own kit up that would be a fraction. Ore cost but known and excellent quality parts imho

Says the joint is rated at 28000lb but that means nothing to me

Are they not tapered? Or is that just a generic photo?

[totalnova]

Just had a look online for some reviews and it appears they are not tapered and people have been having trouble fitting them, oh well I'll just stick with some standard ones.

I think bennnnnnnnnnn has drawings for an insert that fills in the taper to allow these sorts of things to be run

they are not tapered,the connecting rod is the wrong thread size and the thread on the uniball is to long. so don't buy this

[Benn]

I do.

I had to remove them and go back to standard tho.
Screws up all the tracking, makes the arms longer which means the wheels rub on both sides of the inner arch, the car tram lines like funk too. Horrible to drive.

Rick Draper had the same issues, he binned them off too.
