speedway motors, chassis works, art morrison...... not sure if threads are cut or rolled. what kinda part needs the threads stronger than cut threads... i believe most 4 link bars have cut threads.... seen broken rod ends... but never stripped threads.

Rolled threads are far superior to cut anyday. All your quality hardware manufactured today has rolled threads. It is just something I prefer for piece of mind. The inserts are being used in my 3 link control arms and I want all the strength I can get. Broken rod ends is probably more than likely from too small of a size.

imo, a welded insert is not the way to go if your looking for max strength.

The lowers are 3/4 and there is two of those. So I figure with one up top, I better beef it up a little.
