Anybody got a source for these? Last time I used some from Dorman Industries,lasted about three years. IMHO the whole design is a bit light for the job. Might try to adapt 3/8 inch joints instead of the 5/16 ones standard?

The 5'16" unsealed SKF joints fitted to the original steady in 2002 are still working well, no play at all. RGM will have a spare set available.
