The quality of the rod end is important too. Cheap rod ends have play in them when new. Industrial brass lining ones are a no go. NMB is a good brand. Available from local bearing shops. Silverline or Goldline are available from Eastern Raceparts. These are expensive but cost effective in the long run. All these three brands are used by the Supercar teams for ability to last.

I must have had cheap ones to start with on my CR top front upper A-arm.

After 11,000K's there was a lot of play.

Got some new QA1 Rod-ends with (I think) Kevlar impregnation etc and done a further 20,000K's and no play at all. Modena I think had play from day one in the cheap ones. Cheers Gregg
