The present rods have been good for 500 hours or more in most cases.
Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the present rod end rather than design
a new and very different one that will have new failure modes? Are the
current rod ends not available through Lancair or some other supplier?
There is no rod end/nose gear leg joint currently. It is a problem with the attachment holes in the leg tabs.
Did you lift your nose gear off the ground and wiggle it fore and aft? Did you notice any looseness? Do you think it will heal itself? Do you think it will get worse? Do you think the looseness could lead to a future gear failure? If you don't have the elongation problem, don't worry - continue on.
