Rod end size question

Would you guys share with me what size heim joints you are using for your control arms or the size of any spherical bearing if used. I'm thinking 1/2" is most common, but just curious.

Thanks.

-10 for lowers and -8/10 or -8 for uppers depending upon location....we only use Chromoly with Teflon lined casings as standard on all RCR/Superlitecars
 
Terry: Half inch also on mine, but with a 5/8" thread. they are much stronger and have a larger ball.
The chromoly joints with teflon liner are the way to go.
I use 1 1/4" radius rods with .080 wall much stronger and I think they look better.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks guys. I went with 5/8" (-10) lined chromoly all the way around, so if you guys are not seeing any issues (especially Fran), I should be in very good shape regarding any margin.

Thanks again.
