Solid Trailing Arms - replacement joints?
Anybody know a source for replacement heim joints that have dust boots and grease fittings?
I have the Petitt solid trailing arms that have worn quite a bit.

if you look up trailing arms they claim the joint is "self lubricating"...hmmmm
at least they have seals

You can replace the rod ends with QA-1 XMR-10 (or XML-10, depending on the thread direction) from Jeg's for ~$20 each. I replaced the rod ends in my M2 toe links with these rod ends and they seem to be working fine. The Pettit arms probably use the same 5/8" size rod ends, but it would be worth checking the size before ordering. I chose the QA-1 units after looking at a lot of price lists and data sheets. The QA-1 rod ends are strong and cheap, and they seem to be holding up fine on my car, though I think any rod end is going to be a wear item that needs periodic replacement.
