Ride with rod-ended torque arm set-ups?
I know my rod-ended LCA's added some noise. Enough that I put the factory LCA's back in. But I broke my 10bolt after 1000's miles on my new motor and turbo kit and I'm looking to get the Moser Fabricated M9 rear with the CM rod-ended torque arm included. How bad is it going to be with a rod-ended torque arm? Just wondering if it is going to be clunking all over the place after a few thousand miles once the rod-ends start to wear?
I'm not really looking for opinions from people with huge cams and loud-as-hell true dual setups, lol; you guys can't hear it anyway. I have a Magnaflow catback that is stock quiet until I open the cutout. It's great for dates and road trips. I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too. 1000hp daily driver for the win!

I have used elastomer ends and they knock out the noise, as they are nothing but a fancier rubber bushing with better articulation and less deflection. I agree that rod ends are not for the street. Aside from the noise, road grime will wear them out quick.
Sometimes they require a little modification to the mount, as they are 1-2mm or so wider than the typical rod end like an Aurora CM.
