Hoping not to take this post into a big debate but after looking at the setup from PMS I have a couple questions.
Adjustable Tow Link Set On their site they say that the adjustable tow link is using "fully adjustable spherical uniball bearings". I was under the impression that uniball bearings were made up of only a ball and socket. The ones shown look like they have a shank attached to the bearing. Looks more like a heim joint. From what I've read uniball is the better choice because its stronger. So is the PMS a heim joint or uniball bearing? Or do they make uniball bearings with shanks? From what I've been told, using a heim joint for street use is not a good idea. Street use will wear the joint out quickly because of dirt, sand, rain, salt.... getting into the joint. Also they squeak a lot since most are not serviceable. PMS is stating its for street or racing. If it is going to be used for racing purpose then none of this matters. After a season or two of racing I would guess they would get replaced or rebuilt if possible. If its for street use then is any of this a concern or is this incorrect about what I've read and been told? |
