As far as camber link ends go I don't know of any but I'm sure there must be some from other kits that fit. I have the stock ones on mine and they are fine, ran them all last year and are still like new. I have heard of people complaining about them but I have had no issues. Maybe Brandon Melton can give some insight on this as he has way more expieance than I.

Camber link ends- The rear inner ones do bend periodically, but it's way better to bend them and keep trucking than the get harder ones and then snap them, or find a weaker link somewhere else.

I truely just bend them back the other way until straight. I will replace the plastic when it gets a little worn where the ball fits. Kind of pointless to replace with a new one for it to bend that one too. I have noticed that when they bend, the camber setting really doesn't change, so other than an eyesore, you don't lose any performance.

Seems like the link would be shorter once it bends. Once they bend aren't they flexing when your on the track? I guess its not a big deal. Just bothers me seeing them all twisted up lol

I've noticed the same thing with the rear camber inner rod ends. Just as Brandon had just said, when I first saw them bent I was thinking that my camber would be all messed up, but when I check it, it never seems to be outta wack. They have never broken or popped off. kinda weird though lol.

I've got about 4 gallons on mine and just checked mine. One is perfect and the other has a very slight bend and I mean slight, nothing I am concerned about.

I just received an order from a-main which had a few packages of the silicone o-rings. They were the original black version....
