    Heim/Rod Ends on 3 link

    Does anyone know the rod end size?
    I forgot to write the size of the rod ends down in my "owners" manual and need to order a set for my 3 link.
    Seems after a "few miles" they get some extra play between the bolt and the bore in the rod end!
    When I grab ahold of the roll bar, "shake" the car side ways and I can hear the sounds of the three link bar moving.
    I replace both the bolt and the rod end each time just to be sure. This will be my third set so they do last a while.

    I think the bore is .625 and the thread is ??

    Usually get the QA1 XM series rod ends

    Pretty sure the thread is 5/8 fine also but wait for verification from someone else.
