Anyone seen these "Johnny Joint" type rod ends?

[LukeZero]

Got the most recent Speedway Motors catalog, and saw these in the back in the truck section. At $39.00 each they seem frighteningly cheap. On the other hand, QA1 makes pretty decent stuff. Anyone have an opinion?

Johnny Joints are about $39.00 as well.

the speedway ones are not even a real pic. That seems odd to me. But I have a bunch of parts from them and they have all worked well..

 

[LukeZero]

Yeah- the pic is computer generated in some way.

I thought Johnny Joints were something like $65-$75. My bad.

johnny joints!

The Original Johnny Joints are the way to go, Currie has them for $39.95 and they are a completely forged, one piece rebuildable unit.Just stay away from the welded ones.
