Baer Tracker Bump Steer eliminators?

I need to replace a tie rod so this is a good opportunity to do this. I searched and only came up with ONE thread about it http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1198247

Surely somebody else has these. I'd get both the front and the rears. Anybody else have experience with them? My car is daily driven, but bump steer is annoying to me. I don't track it (drag strip yes, but road course no), so I dont have the concern of the heat melting the parts off. Seems like the OEM ones are just as expensive, so might as well....

I've got them on my track car and they do work if your alignment man knows what he's doing. Bump steer is totally eliminated on my Z.

I have them on the front of my car and it made the bump steer a ton better.

I sell both front and Rear that we manufacture here. Currently I am the only one that makes the rears until someone copies them anyways. Make sure you look at both links.
Here is the links.

Wow that rear looks beefy alright! This was posted about 30 minutes too late I already placed an order for a front and rear set of tie rod ends. The OEM ones were $75 each for the fronts and $60 for the rears, I figure I'll just replace them both with aftermarket stuff being almost the same price.

Good to know that product is out there though.
