understood.
Keep in minfd that the heim is a part that will wear out and need to be replaced. How quickly and how often is largely contingent on the amount and type of use it gets.
Some folks can go for years without ever replacing one, others need to keep a bag of 'em as trail spares.
This applies to any heim, not just the ones used on track bars.
So "YMMV" couldn't be more true.

I have the ****ty RC tracbar on my DD. The bar is fine. The ****ty TRE that comes with it is what wore out. It was shot within 2 months.
I used a nice Moog TRE to replace it and I haven't had an issue since.

Oops, I thought you were asking about this one:

The RE1665 is used with the RE1660 TrackBar
