It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

Anyone replace heim joints / rod ends with johnny joints or other?  Looking to upgrade my Hotchkis ends, would be great if anyone could provide real world examples of this upgrade and impressions of the joint.  Seems most applications are off-road, looking for hot rod installs.  Thanks, Darren

Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

If you did do that swap be prepared for more control and precision....at the cost of rather more NVH. I made that "mistake" on my Grand Cherokee.
