Default Rod End Size on Wolfe DA LCA's

does anyone know the rod end size on the wolfe double adjustable lca's using the stock bolts.

mine have about 30k and a ton of races on them and are making a bunch of noise and the car is starting to track very poorly and dart around when cruising so i figured i'd start by replacing them and see if it gets better

i sent them a few emails with no response and the last time i called it just rang

thanks

pretty sure they are 3/4" -16 with 3/4" bore. make sure you get 2 left hand threads and 2 right hand threads. i'm not 100% sure so dont order them until you double check.

thanks man

i hope a couple people can confirm that size so i can order them and try and fix this issue. the car has started to track horribly over the past few months, just darts around really bad when cruising but hauling *** its fine. the front end is 100% tight so im leaning towards these or the front shocks (qa1r's) but they arent showing any signs of leaking or anything.

also any rec's on which ones to go with, preferably under $20 a piece

Check the bushing in the panhard bar. Try to push the car left to right from one of the rear tires.

do not skimp on the rod ends. better to spend $35 or so on a good rod end than to spend $20 on junk. get a good c-moly piece. check out the QA1 XML-12 and XMR-12 those are the part numbers for the left hand and right hand thread. but like fastfatboy said check the panhard bar. good idea, and sounds like he is speaking from personal experience.

just crawled under the car and looked at the bushings and they look fine

however , when rocking the car from side to side by pushing on the rear tires with the car on the ground a can definitely hear and feel something moving around. unfortunately i cant crawl under there and look while im pushing on it so i gotta call one of my friends over later to help

thanks for the help, any other ideas?

ya look around the panhard brace on the car, it might be bending or cracking. same thing with the braket on the rearend. did you cut the "whole" bumpstop off, so you can see the rear coils and the top mout for them???

good luck
