Judging from how they are made it should work out much better than a rod end for a DD. I can't wait to see what UMI has. I may swap out my stockers with moogs for those if the price is close to the rod end prices (maybe a bit less). I need to put in an order for your new PHB with Sam soon anyway.

nice and quite.
lee- yes they are a little over built. they were designed for a rock crawler. but mine with the aluminum arm is little then a stock arm. Lee how heavy is your boxed poly poly. and you new aluminum billet poly poly
now if you do like foxxtron said and put the rod end on the rear end. then it would even be lighter.
Dkt does not have them on the market yet. but you can pm me and email them to get about getting a discount set right now.
also as far as rebuilded able. they are easy. Curry makes a tool to rebuild the bushing. also if the joint isn't tight enough for you they have different size thinkness bushings to put in them

You are mistaken if you think that's the new part that doesn't bind. That's simply a replacement setup to move from a rod-end to standard poly. There is a johnny-joint type end coming out soon.

Will the Johnny-joints rattle though over time? I'm basically waiting on this new part, but I really don't have enough information...it is either going to be these or the Hotpart poly-ball setup. I'm just tired of the rattle, especially after spending a week driving a new Vette and realizing how nice it was to ride in something that felt solid.

Shouldn't take to long to rebuild at all. I found a video somewhere about what it takes to rebuild them. I'm interested in the UMI LCA's when this comes out. I've been wanting something like this for a while.
