I'm always mystified at comments like this inferring that stock Chrysler suspension components were "crap". These "crap" components have been documented as having routinely lived on the pot holed streets of New York city in taxi cabs for over 250,000 miles! I guarantee that no welded components could ever, ever match that stock "crap" for durability under any circumstances. Furthermore, if the game plan here is to use these solid rod ends positioned on their flat as seen, they will fail, and catastrophically. Each of the threads in those shanks represent potential stress risers and with close to 1000 lbs of static weight on each, are well beyond their designed purpose. Incorporate some sharp bumps or potholes and the dynamic weight/tension on those components can easily exceed 8X their static weight. Not being critical of the effort at all. The workmanship appears very good, but engineers that designed the Chrysler suspension were at the top of their trade, and it's kind of tiring to hear people constantly badmouthing, what is in reality, an excellent suspension design.
