Actually, my problem is that the rod somehow turns itself. I tried using CA glue to tighten the rod into the ends knowing it won't be a good bond, but figured it would be good enough. It helps for a while, but eventually start adjusting itself again.

I should mention this happens mostly on the rear. I think my drift-style turning puts a lot of pressure on those rod ends (since that's what keeps the toe adjusted) and eventually wears away at the nylon threads until it loosens. That's my theory anyway...

That's odd, i find that hard to believe that the rod will turn itself! :eek:

One thing I bought is the alum. push rods, and will buy the alum. turnbuckles as well, just for looks of course. :)

How long do the joints of the slider shafts last? With my setup?
