RCR upper Heim Joint

[Michael Holmes]

I need to replace the upper heim joints on my RCR MK1. Does anyone know the supplier to RCR for these or have the specs so I can research a supplier on my own?

Thank in advance.

1/2 x 20 chromoly with teflon liners.....

Thank you Fran,

the 1/2 20 refers to the threaded shaft I assume, is there anything unique about the bearing opening? A race shop that was looking at them commented that they where going to be difficult to find.

In addition are these rt hand thread or left?

Wouldn't it make sense to kind of like, you know, buy them from Fran since he probably has a few hundred of them on the shelf, lol?

Ah I guess it would, oh and shouldn’t you assume, you know I mean, that I have probably been in contact with Fran and that possibly they are back ordered?

Turns out from the builder that the car no longer has the stock heim joints but were replaced as part of the bump steer corrections.

So you dont need the heim joints for the suspension...??..

I have thousands of the heim joints in stock

You mean the ones that are in the bump steer kit...completely different...These are backordered...

Email a pic of exactly what you are looking for.....

Summit racing sells heim joints of various sizes. You can also find may 4X4 online retailers who sell heim joints of good quality such as www.4wheelparts.com.

Thanks all, been in touch with Bill the original builder and now have the specs, aftermarket bump steer kit. Found a high quality (higher price set) from a race supply shop in LA, will have them Monday.
