how does it pop off? the screws are coming off?

 

[Reaper 007]

No..it's popping off the inner ball end..

Buy new rod ends, once they pop off they will keep popping off. Rod ends are cheap too.

Yeah..i have the new ends..but there's something else you can do to prevent them from coming off..and i can't remember what it was..

I think maybe it was replacing it with an open eye end and screwing it on instead. But don't quote me on that

EDIT: Was it the e-clip fix? Scroll down a few.

Use an e-clip and fit it on the end of the ball.

I couldn't remember either, some sort of washer.

They were using an o-ring. I don't get how that helps, but it sounded like it did. I've only had the one on my outcast pop off once or twice in all the hard bash sessions I've done. So I haven't fiddled with it.

This guy posted up the e-clips he used as well:
