Re: Can anyone verify this?
So I called RuffStuff this morning. It is fact they out source their Heim joints. reason being. There are 4 major bearing companies out there. They just so happen to be over seas. Cryro treating and all are done over seas. The gentleman told me that RS gives them the specs they want. The manufacturer does as requested and RS will still warranty and defects. But their steel is USA.

Good to know.
Thanks for doing the research.

Another thing about rod end companies. I found out when trying to order in quantity that all rod end runs are done in quantities of 50K units. So if you get a back order, that is why.
Re: Can anyone verify this?
50K units sure is a whole lotta rod ends! But they can be found on darn near anything. Tractors for example.
Re: Can anyone verify this?
That is true. But if a warehouse is out of them it can be a long wait. There are lots of different sizes and strengths. Remember they are stamped steel for the most part so they can stretch if too much force is put on them. Check the ratings on them
