Johnny vs. Creeper vs. heims

[DRanger024]

So the QA1 Rock Ends I bought when I built my extended radius arms are junk. I cooked the passenger side joint with heat from the catalytic converter and you can't disassemble the joint far enough to clean it out and grease it. Long story short, I'd like to replace them with something more serviceable and most importantly, with grease fittings! I will be building some kind of heat shield this time around.

So I'd like to know your experiences, preferences and why.

P.S. I searched but didn't have much luck. I know I've read many threads with varying opinions over the years but can't seem to find any of them now.

Well I ordered creeper joints.

I don't mind regular radius arm bushings...


Been looking at them creeper units though. Hopefully you can give us a report when you get 6 months on them

I kind of wish I would have went the stock style bushing route but building strong brackets for a rod end is so much easier. Not to mention, joints seem to ride nicer to me. I like that you can order rebuild kits for the creepers for under $20 and they’re greaseable. I will definitely have a full report after they get some miles on them, should be here Tuesday.
