The poor heims on my shocks make it sound like the spoonman from the soundgarden video is under my truck. So far, all I can come up with for a part number is 194476 for the "1/2 uniball"... does anyone know where I can order them?
buying new heim joints for Bilstein 7100
- Thread starter crown14
- Start date
FWIW I do not have interest in the polyurethane replacements.
Poly performance lost my order once and kept my money. I am looking for a business that has these parts in stock ready for shipment.

Select uniball 1/2" from the drop down menu. They are $15 each.

The new part # is, E4-BOA-0000476. I just ordered some from Bilstein. Call the off road dept. at 800 537 1085 and ask for 7100 parts, they will send you to the one or two guys who deal with this. If I needed more than a couple I would look at this for a replacement from Bill;

Don't be a cheap fuck. If you want the good stuff you gotta pay for it. 
When I order something that is pretty small I've had good luck calling and talking to someone about shipping. I ask if they can throw it in an envelope or Flat Rate box. I'll tell them I like their product and company and would like to do business with them if they can bend a little on a seemingly high shipping cost. When you put it to them that way they're unlikely to turn away a sale over a few dollars in shipping.

I don't ALWAYS do that; just when I feel their shipping is unreasonable or when the item is small and costs less than the damn shipping.
Now go make me a fireplace!
TWO WEEKS (and one phone call) later my heims finally have arrived. In a tiny padded envelope. Polyperformance is a joke, avoid using them if you can.
I think I have all of the heims off some fox 2.0s if you want them PM me. Brand new
Nevermind damn wish I saw your post before you bought some.

I was trying to get them fast instead of waiting for them to arrive from Bilstein. Polyperformance said they had them in stock and then ended up getting them from Bilstein and then shipping them to me. Last time I ordered ARB parts they claimed to have in stock and they ordered them from ARB (in Austrailia) to have them drop shipped to me. Well ARB didn't have them in stock and therefore couldn't fill the order. I called them when I couldn't wait any longer and they said they would credit my account- and they never did.
