......... carbon fiber race, PTFE lined. The load rating of these is lower than many others on the market. They aren't all that great IMO.
Compare to these:
FK rod end: JMXT - 10 (17,959 lb)
QA1: XMR10 (17,955 lb)
Aurora: AB10T (17,955 lb)
Sure, they're more expensive. But more than 2x as strong, and chrome plated ball instead of zinc plated so it wont rust/pit/wear out anywhere near as fast.
