....but forgot to order the 6.8mm balls that go in them! ?

Usually I'm pretty good about my research, but I did the research a long time ago. Talk about frustrating, had it all timed for the new motor today. ? Oh well it's not gonna kill me (then turns and asks in a junkies voice, "Hey Man, any of you got them 6.8mm balls out there"?). I'm going to order some probably from AMain, along with the shock tool. Cause I stabbed the crap outa my thumb trying to do rod ends with vise grips.?

Those shock tools are awesome.

Yeah, I just bought one in the past year... 20 years without it, so much easier with the right tool.

You could order amazon and get them more quickly. Especially if your a prime member. Seems we get most things in 24 hours.

I just ordered some via amazon...although the order is filled from a third party, not amazon...still takes about a week. Just my experience though.
 
Just got mine in and surprised that they have a set screw that keeps the spring seat and rod end together. Pretty interesting...they sure are beefy. Did you get your inserts in?
