You'll hear good and bad about all different variations of control arms. At UPR Products, we only offer polyurethane bushings, heim joints, or a combination of the two, and our control arms work very well when used for the proper application. Generally speaking, a street car would use all poly bushings, a street/track car would use poly on one end and a spherical bushing on the other, and then track cars use solid bushings on both ends.

The roto joints theoretically combine the best attributes of heim joints and polyurethane bushings into one joint. I've seen quite a few threads about them being noisy, on the other hand, plenty of knowledgeable people recommend them. As I said, we do not offer them, but our control arms work very well.

There's my two cents.

UPRSharad, You seem to know more than most on here or atleast more than others have provided. What would you recommend out of you guys selection. I not really a hard core dragger, mainly I just want a faster street car than the other guy.

It shys me away they are noisy cause my car has enough creaks as is.

The main point is when I swap out for the 8.8 in the future, I already have a 7.5 Tlock but I going to swap for a V8, is I want done with the awful wheel hop. I going to do a upper control arm as well.

These control arms will rid your 2005 of its wheelhop:
