Good idea I'll give that a go.

I checked the ball diameter and it's around 5.7mm. I had some old Losi standard bore shocks and checked the ball diameter on those and it's exactly the same, so looking promising. The only problem with the Losi ends was that the stem diameter was smaller than the Durango and so would flop around in the spring retainer. I’ll have a look at other shock rod ends this weekend.
