Anyone have any idea of specs on these rod ends? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone have any idea what the strength might be on these "rod ends" I'm thinking about using them for control arm ends that might be quieter/ softer than rod ends. I already contacted Speedway and they can't tell me anything other than they are not made in the US.

I know where to buy high quality spherical bearing rod ends- that isn't the question. These interest me because you get the adjustability of the threaded stud in both left and right hand threads for tweaking the length of a panhard or control arm- I just have to wonder what the strength really is. I might buy one or two and do a little destructive testing just to find out.

Bushing looks kinda thin, but other than that, looks pretty beefy.
