I'm thinking of getting one of these, but I dont' know what the advantage would be over getting one that has poly bushings.

Same here, my rod ends are worn out, but ill get around to replacing them soon. Id have it no other way besides rod ends. As long as theyre in good condition your not gona have much noise.

I've got one of the UMI panhard rods with a rod end on the axle side, and poly on the frame side. Can't say that I've noticed any additional noise at all with it on there.

Same set up as above with rod end on axle side and poly on subframe, only its a Spohn PHB. Haven't noticed any noise from the bar really. Maybe because the poly is on the body side and absorbs most of it.

Hey guys, there may be a better alternative to rod/rod LCA bushings. A lot of folks say they are too noisy, why not use a rodend on one side only to prevent binding and a stiff rubber bushing on the other to soak up the vibrations? I was thinking about welding up something like that using a 1LE bushing and a rod end. Well I just ran across this thread, check it out:
