Just seeing if anyone is interested in them. They are still in good shape and the bushings look good. The rod ends were working well but I am not sure since I haven't adjusted them in a while. Im sure they would clean up if they weren't free. If someone was interested I would pull them apart to clean.

Can you find a picture online or a part number? I'm interested if you can ship.

That is the exact item although not nearly as nicely painted and new looking. A couple of the spacers are missing and I had to use washers instead to take up the slack. I will try to get some pics on here for you soon.

Also yes I would be more then happy to ship them to you man.

This did not turn out to be what I wanted. I am after heim joint LCA's. The Lakewood looks like it is for eliminating the torque arm?

Don't think I'd eliminate the TA all together.

If you want rod end style LCA's buy the pre made LCA Aluminum tubing from Coleman Racing, then buy your desired QA1 rod ends, and then machine some aluminum spacers to fit the smaller bolts. Half price of say spohn or someone. Mine still going strong years later!

Thanks! I'll have to try it out. Since the Lakewood triangulates the axle to the LCA it would bind if the TA was left on. Maybe izcain can comment, I'm not familiar with the product.

Well I was running a torque arm with them and they appeared to work well. It's hard for me because I dont have somone at the line telling me what the suspension is doing, The only thing I know is that I was 60' like 1.52 on the et street mickeys. I wish someone could have watched the car closely at the line to give me some more information.

In the car is felt good.... Just felt like the front lifted and the car surged forward without and indication on lurching to one way or the other.
