Like this^^^

I own a maxx and for anyone who has owned one, knows how many plastic rod ends you can go through for the rear toe links. I came across these aluminum ones and though they might do well. Or might just end up snapping the toe links themselves. (which I Have done with plastic ends). Anywho, Has anyone used the types of ball ends and had good success. I dont mean on a crawler to make it look cool, but on a heavy truck that gets the crap beat out of it...? Anyone? Thanks Guys.

I have busted so many of these things… I thnk I might have come up with a simple solution. And I plant on testing it out, but was still wondering if I should give these a try as well.

I plan on getting some more toe links from Ebay and using 2 Toe Links per wheel in the rear. I havent ordered them yet so it'll be a bit before I can comment if it helps at all. But I will post a picture when I get a chance. I test fitted with 2 links per wheel yesterday with a busted rod end and from regular stance to fully compressed suspension I found no binding between the two links.

Anyway, Anyone use AL Ball Ends???
