What inspection steps are recommended after heavy use?

Inspect the link for bends, check fastener torque and confirm there is no slop at ball ends. Replace any worn hardware to preserve linkage geometry.

Can this link be used with alternative rod ends?

The part is designed for stock rod end spacing and fittings; using different rod ends may require verification of thread size and seating to avoid unwanted play.

How does spring steel compare to other materials for this part?

Spring steel provides a balance of strength and flex that helps resist permanent deformation while absorbing impact loads better than some harder but more brittle alloys.
