i second that. I have them (rubicon express version) on my lower control arms and they are already toast. esp. the rears and they cause alot of axle wrap and play.
The summit joints on my uppers on the other hand seem to hold up well.

I think the summit joints on my uppers are still good. The lowers crapped out about 3.5 years ago.
Along the same lines, what do you guys like for heims? I am assuming most of you are running the higher end ones and not the low carbon steel stuff. What about the insert? Teflon? Kevlar? Nylon???
Along the same lines, this is cheap, but it has a grease fitting. Would this:

last longer in a muddy/water environment?

That is a great price.
I used qa1 from jets or summit that were Teflon impregnated. I think my expensive ones on my radius arms were Kevlar or something bad ass
I would bone up for stainless misalignment spacers. the coated ones will eventually rust in the hiem, then when the joint wears out the spacer is toast to.
I used to have greasable ones and they sucked. I'd start with better ones if I were you. Wasn't there a company that came out with rubber heim boots at some point? Or just slip a prophylactic on them before installation...you know, keep it classy
For the slow-fiddy-fo. JBA shorty headers and y-pipe into single 3" or 3.5" pipe? Flowmaster 70 series muffler with cats removed and simulators for rear O2's. Intake and possible injector upgrayedd in the future.
