Message	You need to make sure the rod ends sit vertical with the Z on the ground, so that the rod end is centered on it's pivot ball. Off to one side and you will prematurely wear the joint. Charles at Powertrix recommended to pump a little bit of grease into the rod end boots. I would give Charles a call if you have any more questions about his products. He is a very knowledgeable guy.
