Default NEW! Replacement Poly Ends for Rod Ends

Hello Members,

UMI Performance has developed and manufactured adjustable ends to convert rod ends to polyurethane bushings. These items are designed to replace 3/4-16 threaded rod ends used on panhard bars and control arms for the 1982-2002 F-Body. They work excellent to replace worn out rod ends or inexpensive rod ends making unbearable noise. They are priced at $29.99 each and available in red or black. Below is a link for additional information, if you have any questions please ask.

Thank you!
Ryan

Thank you so much Ryan!

This product is long overdue. Not only does this product make it easier for those to adjust their LCA's and PHB "double adjustable" style, but also retain the NVH insulating qualities that at least one poly or rubber bushing can offer.

Anyone try these out yet? If so with what brand PHR?
I plan on buying a pair for my pavlock PHR when they offer a left handed thread also.

I got some to replace my UMI double adjustable rod ended LCAs. I changed the body mount side to try and quiet down some of the racket that the rod ended ones made. It definitely made a difference though its still not as quiet as my old LCAs with poly bushing on both ends.

I'd like a set to use with the UMI adjustable upper front control arm. Note the metal/non-metal ratio has to be the same or less.

cookba, you could use two of these to convert your rod/rod lca's into a poly/rod setup.

These are a great option for someone like myself who purchased a set of poly/rod lca's.

Nice work again UMI!
