That's been my experience with rod ends - they usually come with some road noise. You can't beat their performance though.

Yes its normal. I have all rod ends and a spool as well. Just check everything on a regular basis to make sure it all is staying tight.
Its a PITA but a regular checkup of all nuts and bolts will keep you safer out on the road as you can catch any small issues before they turn into larger ones.
