After your warning about the rod end bearing wear I had a check for some spares and got 4 from Demon Tweeks at a bargain price. As the car is in my garage on stands I have replaced the old ones anyway, two are still like new and I will keep as spares. The other two do have slight wear side to side, so in the bin. They were both in the rear position LH and RH, although not sure if there is any reason for that? Another thing to add to the winter service list. Thanks again for the information on these, much appreciated.
