Can you post a review of this kit? I was looking at it to try and remove some of the slop from the links. Does it do that or is it more of a visual upgrade?

It definitely helps. The plastic balls wear down quickly. When I took off the turnbuckles that connect to the bellcrank, the plastic balls just fell out. The aluminum ones won't wear. The only question is how much do the rod ends wear. I won't know that until I run some more and then check them. I really had to use a lot of pressure to get these balls in and I am hoping they stay tight for a while. Replacing the bellcrank with the aluminum HR bellcrank helps remove slop as well.
 
I w.as looking at getting these, but would like to find some in blue aluminum. Do you think these axial balls will work?

Yes I have had the HR pivot balls in for over a month now a couple of my rod ends have wore down alot with the auminum balls. I just ordered a new set of links on Jenny's today.
 
Where did you find the HR pillow ball set. Ive been looking for them for over a month.
 
Ive been looking on Ebay for month and they are still sold out. I will check out the GPM ones once someone posts the link. Thanks!
