Rough Country wouldn't warranty their shitty D.O.A. joint because the warranty isn't transferable. They wanted $24.95 for another one. No thanks.

I just picked up a low end FK rod end with teflon from McKenzie's for $14. Now all of the rattles in my jeep are gone. Thanks for your help, everyone!

The Rough Country marketing team found my YouTube video and they were not pleased.
They tracked down my email address online and offered to send a replacement. The new one is supposed to be heat treated and should fix the "occasional issue." OK.

Tell them you'll only run it if they send you the 14$ for the FK one you already bought.

I found this crazy joint that doesn't need lube, doesn't rattle, absorbs a lot of road noise and lasts like 100K miles!
It's called a bushing
Smartassedness aside - I think a lot of discrepancy that people come across with heim vs heim battles may be that one guy went hard joints on both sides, another went heim + poly, another still went heim + rubber. Just a theory.
Also... TREs & Bushings last hella long in all sorts of conditions. Proven again and again. Aside from it being easier to drill a hole than to ream one, what's the fascination with heims?

Cheap, sizes are pretty well standardized, high angle of misalignment, compact/easy to mount and strong.

i wouldnt say all sorts of conditions....
TRE's are good for light duty stuff, but won't hold up to high loads/impact that you'll see in abusive wheeling. my last TRE's (1 tons) lasted maybe a couple months.
