Like the title says, are all 4 of the Elevator Rod End Bearings the same?? I recieved 3 that are the same and one that is apx. a 1/4 inch longer, The bearing Diameter is the same, however the "Head" is slightly larger as well. I checked the Rudder as well and there is only one of these larger rod end bearings, I am about to order a new one but I just want to make sure.

Different length rod ends go in different positions. It is possible to install rod end that is too short in the wrong position. BE CAREFUL! I did this, discovered it and was pretty P.O.d that Van's had mix and matched different length rod ends in the same hardware bag. As if Murphy did not exist.

Look at the plans carefully. If I remember correctly, the long one goes on the bottom.

Wow thanks alot!!, I just took a look and I guess I never caught that earlier, The Larger one does in fact go in the bottom of the rudder and the other 2 are the same as the 4 that go in the elevator. Thanks alot
