Well, if you've read this far, you're interested in what sets Parts Mike's ends apart from the competition.  Read on, you won't be disappointed.  Our ends are specifically manufactured to our specifications.  Our design utilizes a chromoly shaft and metal on metal ball and socket design.  You read that right; chromoly shaft and metal on metal ball and socket.  All the ends you find at the auto parts store use a plastic bushing between the ball and the socket.  When you're driving down the trail and smack a rock with your tire, the shock load through the steering system can cause that plastic to dent/deform/break.  What you end up with is a loose tie rod end.  Our metal on metal design (forged outer housing and chromoly ball and shaft) means no plastic to break.  Inside the socket is a spring that preloads the ball (similar to the upper kingpin in a Dana 60).  This keeps the end tight as the parts wear.
