Default 6LE Lower Control Arms... All rod ended and at a GREAT price!

So, we'll offer three different styles of rod ends, multiple combinations and it will all come in BARE METAL with the option for us to ship straight to Silver Ghost (for powder coat in almost in any color you want) for an extra $35...

The tube will be an 1 1/16 OD DOM with a .1875 wall. which is a little
thicker than most companies. but these are for street cars, and being just
a little big will help the daily drivers out...

Here's some pics:



Red powdercoated in this pic...





Looking at the above pic, labeling the rod ends left to right J B A...

CMR8-12T/CML8-12T(street style. call them rod end "A")

XMR8-12/XML8-12(streetable, but more race friendly. call them rod end "B")

Poly Joint(very streetable, and rebuild able, best bang for the buck, call it rod end "J")

Prices and combinations...

A-Tube-A = $160
A-Tube-B = $175
B-Tube-B = $190
A-Tube-J = $210
B-Tube-J = $220
J-Tube-J = $260

All are made to order. These are all introductory prices and they INCLUDE SHIPPING so get them while they are cheap !!!

If you want a set just paypal the correct amount to madelisle@yahoo.com and be sure to put in the note the style you are ordering... Happy Holidays

Here's the official sale thread...

i bought a set about a month go, without ever seeing the 6LE version. though i went with aluminum ones, lighter, just as strong, and the cheapest heavy duty rod/rod LCA youll ever see.

Option #2 much preferable.

Decided against the daily driver due to crazy insurance rates (would've cost me a minimum of $900 to keep the TA and get a DD for 6 months... F THAT)... T/A alone's gonna only be $550 every 6 months which is cheap compared to what I'm paying now. T/A's gettin everything it needs and hopefully a lil more

AA is a very good set up.

but in the long run of life if you can do the JJ it will be the best buy. mark has good stuff he is selling there. i run a JJ set up and love it. i know of 3 other guys localy to me that have them and would never change back.

but at the end of the day it is all up to you.

I am 100% sure but I can't make it down to Bob's this week and probably not next week either so it's cool if you need to wait to order them. No big rush. At the latest, our first official Bob's meet after the new year for sure I should be able to meet you down there with the cash in hand no problem. If you make a run down this way, we could meet up somewhere and do it that way too.

Are these on-car adjustable?
What is the maintenance like on the J joints?
How hard/expensive to rebuild?

yes on car adjustable.

JJ has a grease nipple. just grease it every oil change or two. that is what i do. i use a marine base grease. that way it fights off water.

hard to rebuild? no there is a tool that you can get to do it. or the marker of mark's LCA can do it. expensive? i don't think so. it is around 8 dollars retail to replace both bushings on the joint.

most guys i talk to it is around every two years(depending on miles and abuse) that they replace there bushings. to replace the rod ends you got around 15 to 40 dollars per rod(depending on which you go with) so 15 @ 4 ends is 60 bucks. or 8 @ 4 ends is 32 bucks.

so back to what i side up above. in the run of life the JJ set up is the best to go with. they might be alittle pricy up front. but after one or two time you replace rod ends. they have paid for them selves.
