[F500] Rod Ends

[Richard W Schmidt]

Ron,

You can pay more or you can pay less.  Pegasus is at $12.99 for standard
3/8", high strength at $33.99 or Jeg's at $4.69 for standard 3/8".

Pegasus's are all Teflon lined which I guess you would need for a 4,000 lb
car or you plan on driving 100,000 miles with your race car.

I'm thinking that just about any well made rod end will work on our cars.
Look at your suspension. What size bolt holds the panhard bar in place ?
Some times our car construction is ridiculous. My car has two 3/8" bolts
holding the front suspension in place and five (5), count them, 5 1/2" bolts
holding the wheels on !
