has anyone tried knocking these up? i'm sick and tired of replacing the front ARB droplinks as the rubbers tear in a few months and i can get basic rod end bearings (rose joints) for about £4 each

worth a go?

Definitely! I don't know what BMW were thinking when they designed those bloody things - they're crap!
They last a lot longer if properly aligned when fitted, but I still have to do mine every MoT.

I have a load of rod ends for this exact purpose, just haven't got around to knocking them up as there are more pressing things to be done. Perhaps I will have a go at the weekend at these, it's definately easy enough.
