They are QA1 Endura rod ends, top quality ends but 3/4" thread is not going to fit anything on the market other than our tension rods. And there are no metric sizes for the Endura rod ends.

Kuah, it is true that the XM series rod ends shouldnt be used in the TC rods because of the lower misalignment?

IMHO guys with coilovers are probably fine, guys running softer stock or near stock springs might experience clunking during hard cornering.

With all of this being said, any reviews/opinions on the powertrix RUCAs?

I drove on mine for a couple of months before my starter took a crap.

can you explain how this makes a difference.

i can imagine that because the misalignment is lower there is less possible angle but i wouldnt have thought there would be much movement like that, i guess there is.

sorry if my terminology is off.

On the tension rods you need to consider the change in angle of the front lower arm as the suspension travels. The more the suspension travels the more the lower arm rotates, so guys with soft springs will need more misalignment in the tension rod end to avoid binding.

Case in point, the problem some had experienced with the energy suspension tension rod bushings cracking the lower arms was due to excessive bind in the bushings under rotation of the lower arm...
