FIGS Toe Links and Winter Weather
I have heard almost all positive reviews regarding FIGS Toe Links. However, I was wondering if anyone else was using these in places with a snowy winter. I am up in Ohio and my Toe Links appear to be starting to rust. They also squeak unless I oil them very regularly. Any input is appreciated.

<-- another midwestern with figs no.2 arm heim joints on GS.
I go through a touchless wash once a week to get the crap off the undercarriage but so far I think there aren't any rust... i haven't inspected them closely lately though.
Have you read their blog and their entry about looking at heim joints with 40k miles exposed to the elemnts of Colorado?

I'm running a Figs rear set- had them about 4yrs now. Before I transitioned out of the military I was stationed in upstate NY where they salt the roads extremely heavily. Couldn't say for sure the exact amount of mileage I have on them but I know it's at least 50k. One of these days soon I'll probably just order some new rod ends from Mike and be on my way lol...
Btw, from looking at a couple pics in this thread I just want to mention that you want to have the rod end bearings centered and not off axis to prevent premature wear. Just something to be aware of.

i dont think mine are as bad as the pics above, but ive noticed a bit of play in my toe links. i just scrub down with a stiff nylon brush and spray down with graphite lube. i will admit, my car sounds horrible, but its also due to dry poly bushings ive been meaning to get re greased
