Default PA Kmember and Aarm problem help!

Okay so today I'm driving and hear a pop which felt like I had a blowout, steering wheel went apeshit and went vertical on me. I checked and no flats, get under the car and the spherical rod end that connects the a-arm to the kmember had split in half! Anyone know where I can get a new chromeoly or mild steel one? I've checked at the local speed shops and can't find one. I need one asap. I know the size is 5/8x5/8 or so.

Did you try getting in touch with PA? If there is a chassis shop near you they will probably have what you need. You can also call Summit or Jugs. Just need to know the rod end size.

Better Yet, Call Jay Billingsley(SponsoR)=======================>

I have never seen a Rod end split before! I would call PA asap, use a good QA1 rod end that shouldnt happen with a qa1 Endura series end.

Jeez
