Re[2]: Rear Camber adj rod ends. Anyone have a good cheap so

[gabel@acmepower.com (Glen Abel)]

     Well, I got a little more life out of the Joints by putting them into 
     an Arbor press and applying 250 tons of pressure... Not sure how long 
     this will last but Im going to measure one up and order a new one from 
     somewhere... as far as the performance?  It an AUDI... Not a Porsche, 
     when I want awesome handling, ect.. Ill buy one... for now, I just 
     wanna keep the thing running smooth, and without and klunks...
     
     Thanks Glen.

I'm not sure about the current status of the project, but my father fabbed 
the parts to replace the link with a real heim joint, in conjunction with 
the stock inner ball joint. 
     
I can check with him if there's interest.   Cost was still not cheap, but 
alot cheaper than the dealer.  And it would be a more direct link, with 
potential NVH issues, but certainly with better camber control, and 
possibly more predictable handling.
