the only one's i've seen with the rubber boot are the ERP links.

bruce. keep an eye on them. they do break. a local dude tracks his car with these same AP links and they break. the aluminum rods are fine but it's the heim joints that aren't up to the task.

Brucem is a name known to allBrucem is a name known to allBrucem is a name known to allBrucem is a name known to allBrucem is a name known to allBrucem is a name known to all
everything we do we have to keep an eye on, so I understand that. I mean majority of "racing" type products that are to be used for the track are not designed to last for 100,000 miles like alot of other parts. So we put some wear and tear and additional miles on the prducts that what it may have been designed to see. Thanks for the heads up Carlos!

I knew all along that AP and vivid were similar owners.. smart to market product with different name and show it is a separate entitiy. That way it can be sold by vivid and other dealers. Otherwise if you have a vivid line of products people may not know they can get it through other dealers.

Yup, I had the exact same thing happen to my car at the track. Only damage was to the control arm. $400 dollars later I was back in business. The $400 was all inclusive for the arm and the track alignment.
