RE: Cool alternative to the TSR linkage kit

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Haygood's experience is the same a mine;  threaded spherical-rod ends have
no more propensity to loosen than any other threaded fastener.  And, unless
one end of the linkage has left-hand threads, while the other has
right-hand, they cannot lose adjustment if the jam nut did come
loose...they'd just get a little sloppy.
  I'd think an adjustable linkage COULD be a pain to set up initially, but
after that would be a very satisfying modification to a 'roc.  I've been
thinking about fabricating one myself....

To everybody,

Dude, what is up with the tempers on this list.  It's really getting old.

Anyway, what I was planning on saying is that off the top of my head I can
think of 35 threaded rod ends we use on our Formula car, and we have never
had one unwind itself.  It's more common that we have a hell of a time
loosening them.  I'm not saying it didn't happen or implying anything else,
just that its rare for the jamb nut to even loosen, much less the rod end
adjust itself.  Maybe poor tolerances on the threads or something?  I don't
know.

That's a statement of my experience, with a touch of opinion.  If something
about that unnerves you, I really don't care to hear about it.
