hi everyone, im designing a rear coilover suspension for my MGB. Im looking for rod ends where you can insert rubber or poly bushes, as i dont want to use the normal ones as its a road car and may be too noisy and also i heard they can wear quickly.

Any thoughts?

Cor they aren't cheap lol. I need 8! If I wanted to make my own is it simply a case of cutting some tube to the correct length and welding it to the end of a longer tube?

Yes it is, just make sure you size the tube and bushes to give a slight interference fit and make your crush tubes from stainless steel.
