ROD ENDS: Who has them on their torque arm?
ROD ENDS: Who has them on their torque arm?
Debating between the poly and the rod end version of the Spohn torque arm and can't seem to get feedback from anyone with the rod ends. If you have the rod ends do you have excessive road noise? Any negatives about it? How much better in terms of performance would the rod end be compared to the poly?
Thanks

I don't know what they're like on a street acr but you will probably hear more road noise. Depending on how much milage you put on the car, you'll probably have to replace the rod ends every 2-3 years also since they will wear out and get sloppy causing even more noise. Poly bushings are best for a street car.
