This is straight off of LG Motorsports website: "Rugged 0.095 wall, 1.25" diameter heat treated steel with mig welds (expect some road noise)."

That was on their street, poly/poly LCA. The poly/rod, rod/rod says the same thing though.

Why should you expect road noise? I thought rod ends caused road noise? And can rod-ends go bad? Is it a mileage thing or how hard they are used or what kind of road conditions they are used on?

Has anyone bought LCA's and a PHR and JUST noticed better handling and NOT any increased road noise, etc?

The OE rubber bushings do kill a lot of road noise/vibration. If you go to poly, you'll see a minor increase in vibration transmission, and rod ends will really up the ante, as they're basically solid bearings.
