I am happy to note that Mevotech seems to be offering a premium line. Might be something I'd take a chance on. The defect kinda makes my point. VERY good to hear about RA's responsiveness to the problem.

I think the wire issue was just a fluke. These things have really great corrosion resistant powder coating X we’ll see how they last!

Blue- Did you ever find out if The Mevotech TTX hubs have roller or ball bearings ? That could be the game changer..

I'm happy with the Mevotech Supreme sway bar links. (So far).. .

No not yet, I spoke with Neville at Mevotech and he wouldn’t disclose any information

Blue- Well thanks for trying. I would think if they are rollers that would be a huge bonus.

Phhht. They prolly have no clue. Why hide what anyone could discover by tearing one open?

He was in the research and development department, I thought he would know. You’ll have to wait till one of mine fails, then I might cut it apart

If they are roller bearings, seems like they would want customers to know this. But maybe EPA could say it will affect gas mileage for increased resistance rolling.
