Smart struct Heim Joints

[Sky65]

Does anyone have the part numbers and supplier for heim joints to replace the bushing ends on the VBP Smart Struts? I did some searching but have been unable to find them.

Thanks
Tom

They are probably normal 5/8th heims with 1/2" eyes or 1/2" altogether

Thanks. I measured the through bolt thread sizes on the car. The inside looks like 1/2" and outside at the shock mount 5/8". Two different sizes. Does that sound right?

Thanks

One more question. Are these satisfactory?

Or these?

Or should I use something like this?

The third one you listed at least has seals. Probably pretty important.

They also sell seals for these, I used the seal rings (dust shields) on the strut rod heim joints , so far so good ...

Yes I saw the seals on Speedway. I have them on my list as well. Which heims are you using?

I got the black coated Summit brand joints..... Seem to be good quality....

I just got the car aligned today and it's simply awesome to finally be able to push it a little......

Thanks. I called Speedway and asked for their opinion based on my application. They seemed to like the Pro-1. Didn't have much to say about the benefits of the others so I ordered the POr-1. We'll see I guess. I did order seals for them and swedged aluminum rods and ss jam nuts as well.
