Exposed spherical bearings can be susceptible to accelerated wear due to dirt ingress, but it is much down to the design and material content of the ball, socket and liner.

In the case of these rod ends, there is no known issue on the US forums, and AFAIK, the supplier has yet to supply new bearings to any owner for any reason, wear included. Good choice of parts since they've been around for about 4-5 years now.

I was round at Peters at the weekend fitting mine (despite my boot mount intercooler scoop doing its best to hinder the process)

I know peter has lost his mob, so if you are struggling to contact him that may be the reason why.

If not sure he will be along on here soon!
