Spicer is a name brand for years.
Who knows what part of China anything comes from nowadays?
Why are you concerned with wearing out tie rod ends in a race? they can last 100,000 miles.

Some of what he is taking is incase the rubbing gets a little extreme.

Kind of an aside, Just undestand that racing is dangerous. There was a fatality at a race recently. Car hit the wall head on.

taking all this JUST IN CASE... keep in mind this is a 24hr race ..actually 2 8hr segments as of now.. and its not an autocross ..its a roadcourse track day with 40-80 cars on it.. at 500 bucks a car.. everyones NOT gonna be gentle ... so i figure suspension parts are gonna take a beating .. can win if you can finish and you cant finish if your broke without parts... but the 500 dollar limit means a cheap make it last race part is better than nothing or a broken one..
