AFAIK no. My shocks have rose joints and the rattling from them gets annoying at times.

Rose joints are standard in many factory steering and suspension components so I'd think they'd need a better answer than just no or I'd throw that straight back in their face.

The problem is that they vary so much in quality from absolute crap (Industrial low carbon steel, metal on metal race) to better than aerospace (Goldlines, etc).

The cheapies are flat out dangerous.

You can get them engineered easily if your not planning on changing the geometry of the links.
the info is up there ↑, not here.

the ones im thinking of getting are an automotive grade and they do look to be a really good quality, but they are metal on metal, i'll see if he's got some with a rubber insert
