Default Best LCA for handling?

Rod-end. I have some made locally by a friend of mine (Roadie). Trackbird makes a nice set as well.

If it's a track-only car and you don't mind the noise, quality hem-joints on both ends are the way to go. Otherwise heim on the axle and rubber on the frame seems to offer the best of both worlds.

Question Anyone use Rubber bushings?

Do any venders sell Heim/rubber LCA's? I know LG sells the Heim/Poly LCA's which I have, but I'd like to try a set that uses a rubber bushing instead of poly. The squeeky noises the poly bushings make is too much for me. A while back there was a member who made his own heim/rubber LCA's, wonder how those worked out for him.

Thanks!

Actually trackbird made some for the community, here and over at frrax. Don't know if he makes them anymore, however there is a member who started a thread in order to ensure he get's the parts for his rubber/heim LCA's correct.

Here's a thread from his website:
