Default Rod Ends--these Are Nice!!!

These are really nice ends!!! What quality ends did you get with your parts? QA1 etc? My QA1's that came with my a-arms and k-member were really loud and now since I changed them, it is quite as a mouse!!!! What info (if any) do you guy's have on your ends? We have been buying these for a while now and they are great!!!! Thanks Tuthill

They look good, have you used these on your Pan hard bars yet, how did they work? I was looking into replacing mine.

What model of the QA1 series did you have? The XM are dead silent.

Yeah, they have a thick teflon pad between the bearing and the housing which makes for a quite ride....

How to these compare in price to the QA1 XMR10-12? I paid $27.42 direct from QA1. After about 1000 miles, the only noise I hear is what I believe to be common when mounting the torque arm solid to the body, such as the clunking sound in the rear end when the next gear isn't matched right. I guess that is to be expected with the rod end, but do these dampen sound more?

I also found some rod ends from Aurora Bearing Company that looked like they would be good. Have you tried those?
