Default Upper and Lower A-Arms

Does anyone make lightweight aftermarket upper and lower A-Arms withOUT the rod ends?

I've seen the upper arm without the rod end, but the lower arm has atleast one.

I don't care for the adjustabilty, this isn't an autoX car but I like the idea of dropping the weight.

The rod end is required for the motion that is need at the rear of the A-arm not for adjustability. As far as I know all of the aftermarket arms us this same design.

We offer a package for both the upper and lower A-arms which can be found here

Isn't the stock A-Arm just a bushing at both ends?

I was actually looking at your A-Arm as that is the only one with 1 rod end.

I hate those things, after a year or so they start making some noise
