Qa1 teflon rod ends? If that is what your speaking of the answer is yes, every pebble, crack, and flaw in the road now transmits directly into the body of your car. Gotta love it, where the racecar and streetcar line is drawn. Don't feel bad though mine is the same way

Default UMI Performance!

Hello
That is the thing about a rod end they are more sensitive to the road but they also last a lot longer compared to a poly bushing if you are going to race the vehicle a few times a month. But if you are going to race the vehicle a few times a year and drive the car daily you will be fine with a poly bushing. Below is a link to show you what all types of lower control arm combination's we have!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad
