Rod Ends

[mab475]

What is everyone using for rod ends? Regular, Teflon lined, injection molded nylon race? Looking for steering and 4-link heims.

I use the QA1 "PCMRT" black coated, teflon lined ends. Nothing special, but I've had good luck with them. They will wear on the steering ends, but I don't race a ton....probably get at least half of a season out of the steering ones, almost never replaced a 4-bar one.

Thanks for replying. There's been 71 views and you're the only one to reply. I guess rod ends must be a major secret in racing. Lol

That's funny, because I really only replied since no one else had. I only run those ends because they're middle of the road, decent value, and have held up well for me. The average Saturday night racer probably has a mix of brands on their car, so maybe that's why you didn't get many responses. Anyone on a deal would obviously run one brand exclusively.

As long as they don't bind, don't wear out too quickly, and bend rather than break if wrecked, any brand would be fine for what I do.

I use fk and aurora both are quality products and i see no difference in longevity. Keep them clean and they last a long time
