Just ordered the dgtrial's TC rods, and it looks like it's missing a part..

It's the conical looking thing on both sides on the end..I just have a hole in the middle where they should be..

Can someone tell me what these are called?

That pic is from their website..My friend has my digicam so I can't take one. I just circled what I was missing from the pic from their website, was just wondering what that piece was called.

Email them and ask for one of the conical metal bushings. Shoot them a pic of your missing one and I bet they will help you out.

well mine at least didnt come w/ a bolt thru them...but mine are touge factory, also really great btw...but yeah, w/o the bolt they can get knocked loose literally as easily as if they were just placed on top of eachother w/ no connection

well the reason the bolt fell out was because they werent machined right so the stock tapered bolt didnt fit so I had to use a thinner but closest I could find home depot bolt, which got loose from shaking around I guess and fell out.
