I did a lot of looking around when looking for rod ends. I ended up with QA1 rod ends. You really cant a better rod end. And the 3/4x5/8 ends are stronger than the 3/4x3/4 ends. But you are limited with 5/8" bolts. And after some research a good 5/8" bolt is fine for the loads seen for a cars suspensions in a shear load. JR Oh, and 600 horseys isnt that severe on a suspension. Maybe the guys pushing 2500 hp would be able to pipe up, what do they use??
