Time to replace heims  looking for recommendations I remember hearing that the Teflon ones beat out pretty quick ??????

 
Question on this if I may as well, how do I know when a heim is bad? Loose ball? How loose?

 
I’ve used FK and QA1 XM series heim joint with no issues. Even the Kevlar/Teflon  injection ones without problems. Look for play as you shake rattle and roll the suspension parts. I usually hold my finger and thumb or just a finger on the heim ball itself as I jerk things around looking for any play. Oh yeah and Jack the car up first. 

 
If were me...  if I was happy with the performance of what was in it, don't fix what ain't broke.  I might call the builder and see if he had a strong recommendation,  he might have learned a few things since he built the car.  

On drag cars, they were 2 to 3 year Maint items and we used the TFE ones.  On the dirt????  I would go by wear.  If they clunk they get replaced.
