got a hold of don- all good with getting new heim joint. i got 40,000 miles out of my heim joint. it seems to be about the norm-from what i have read.

QA1 and FX make good heims, make sure you get a high quality chromoly joint, mild steerl joints are junk. Check any offroad shop or racing shop. Online go to Poly Performance.com. Also Rod End Supply is going to be the cheapest and you may have one local, if not you can order direct from them. Lots of choices, just have to know where to look!

I just had to buy a new one as well for my steering. Actually I am going to be replacing all of them. This is the response I got. I will check my steering VS the PanHard and see if they are the same. Don is usually really good about helping people out. Check Out http://www.kartek.com/Product/Fabrication/Heims.html
From Don! "The tie rod uses a FK ROD END part # JMX12T, or JMXL12T. The "L" designates left hand thread so just check to see which one you need. These can be found at any off road shop usually."
