Yes I know the construction of the rod ends, and I do feel I understand what you're saying about the elimination of slop. My attempts to draw a distinction between your experience behind the steering wheel on the one hand, and the elimination of slop behind the rear wheel on the other hand, seem to frustrate you so I'll stop doing it...

Answered your question?
I get a little more with each description you give, and I do get a sense of where you're coming from. Anyway I'm happy to move on. I appreciate your willingness to share your experience, and maybe it's because I'm not an experienced race car driver, as you are, that we can't communicate at higher bandwidth.
