Default where is the most binding?

I'm debating on where to use rod ends and poly ends in my suspension setup. Where do you guys rate binding the worst and least? Like for example i would figure the lower LCA's would be high but the panhard and torque arm would be low. Thanks guys.

The most? The LCA's by a mile. Some little big in the PHB, not a lot (mostly a deflection thing there).

You'd be insane to use urethane in the front contrpl arms, the rear lower bushing will just fall apart and the rest do have some stick in them. Rubber, or rod-ends as far as I'm concerned, at least in the lowers, the uppers you can get by with urethane better.

TA's don't really use a bushing in that way, at least not the ones I prefer to use (not tunnel mount types).

I'd be happy to talk to you about this stuff by phone if you want, I carry all the different types of parts.... and this is what I do. A lot of folks can sell you parts, fewer can answer these questions well.
