From the little I know about them they represent the cheaper end of the competition quality market, they work well enough in most liight to medium load conditions, i.e. circuit work. Oval and rally racers tend to go for the solid lined ones. PTFE is nice because they stay stiff fro a long time and are self lubricating and are better sealed against water and dirt ingress. One thing I was told was not to spray them with WD40 or similar as the PTFE lining absorbs it and swells causing premeture failure.
As with all rod ends you can get cheap ones and expensive ones, avoid the really cheap ones. Lots of people use national rod ends, they seem to be a good compromise between quality and price, also Aurora are supposed to be good. Rose are quite expensive |
