Hot Tip on Rod Ends

I just recently had to buy 100 rod ends for a project at work. I called Lefthander Chassis and talked to them because I wasn't sure they would have that many in stock. While I had the guy on the phone I asked him about where these were made. He informed me that all QA1 rod ends are made in China including their HMR-T series. He told me that the best rod end they sell is Radial Bearing brand (made in the USA) and, get this, they are $1.50 cheaper than the best QA1's.

QA1 017-HML-10T $28.49
Radial Bearing 03410AB $26.99

That's indeed good to hear. i bought some QA1 chrome moly ones, they were not cheap and said china on the threaded end. I was severely disappointed. They still reside in a bin and I got some auroras instead.

Auroras are definately beefier. I'm questioning my choice. What do you think of my choice.

This is similar to auroras

Anybody have experience with these?

I use these along with the exra seals from Speedway with no problems
