Thanks for any help.

Don't know of any good ones, but a good hint to make your stockers last longer is get a needle grease fitting and put a few pumps in the boot of the ball joints.

I just put a set of EPIs in the SRA.

That sounds like a good idea GE4x4, I will do that and probably get EPIs to replace them with.

You get a needle for your grease gun and poke it through the rubber boot. Just like you would get a shot through your skin.

Well I finally got the outlaw out of the trailer. It had been in there since the last race 2 weeks ago. I soon realised I had bent a tie rod and the center link was trashed. This was the 3rd race for the EPI ball joints and they were tight! The stock ones would never have lasted this long with the trees I had caught.

If they are bad, beat them out with a Hammer. You're not going to hurt them.
