Overall Assessment

Customers laud our product for its superb quality and practicality, particularly for protecting heim joints. The dust shields effectively ward off dirt that can cause wear, ensuring a longer lifespan for spherical bearings. Despite slightly widening the joint when used with a specific style, users find it worth modifying for the benefits. Although some customers expressed a preference for even-numbered packs, the seals are consistently reported to fit perfectly, ensuring excellent functionality. Thus, our product proves easy to use, offers robust material quality, and provides a crucial protective feature. The seals stand out for their perfect fit, excellent quality, and great value, making them a highly recommendable choice for heim joint protection.

Worked well

Nice strong seal. Fits nicely and easily with through-bolt style of heim joints, however when used with the style that bolts between 2 brackets, the seals do make the joint slightly wider. Worth modifying and fitting though.

Most Liked Negative Review

3.0

Keeps dirt and corrosion out

These fit with American star rods and ends. I added a lock washer to get a better fit rather tha ordering both a 3/8" and 1/2" size. These seals prevent dust and corrosion(siezing). A known issue with open heim style joints. I would rate these very high but the set comes with 6 rather than 4 or 8. Forces you to order more than you need. Very dishonest.

I am not sure why you get 6 pieces when yo buy these, most of the time any installation would use a even number of rod ends, so packs of 4 or 8 would make more sense.
