Hi,

Rebuilding my car from scratch www.marcosmantula.com and about to refit the suspension and need some guidance re rose joints/rod ends. As the car has 8 on the front suspension and 13 on the rear I could spend a fortune if i am not careful.

How do i know what quality to go for ? is it simply a case of the more expensive the better (probably not) ? It's a road car but will have a powerfull engine fitted so need to know i am buying heavy duty ones to cope and that will last,

Already seen Merlin motorsport who have National rod ends at £28 for 1/2 x 1/2 or Rally Design carbon steel ones at £9.80 or Chrome moly steel at £18.28 and McGill Motorsport Alloy steel heavy duty £7.50

Such a wide range in price and they all claim they are the best

Help !!!!
