I'm completely fed up with the LCAs I have now. It was like 60-70 degrees yesterday and the poly bushings are STILL creaking. I swear, the car's suspension sounds like it's 30 years old! And I had just greased them a week ago with synthetic grease, to the point where grease was spilling out of them.
I need new control arms, and I want to go with a rod/rod setup to eliminate the creaking of poly bushings. The thing is I think the rod ends on my current LCAs are rattling a little, and what I want is to get a set of LCAs with QUIET rod-ends that will LAST.
Which manufacturer, in your opinion, makes the best rod/rod LCAs? I heard a lot of good things about LGM's teflon-lined ends, but I don't see rod/rod LCAs in their catalog, just rod/poly. I was also looking at PPC and they also have teflon lined rod ends, but it doesn't seem like anyone has any feedback on them.
Any thoughts one way or the other would be appreciated. I just don't want to have to buy LCAs twice and STILL have them banging and creaking horribly.
Thanks

Call LG about the rod/rod. They haven't made it to the catalog yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Give me a call, and I can help you. We have the Aluminum LCA's available now, and would be willing to do a GP if we got 10 buyers. The rod ends are teflon lined, and can be had in either Aluminum or Chrome Moly rod ends.
We also have our aluminum PHB's also.
