These look like a well thought out part, using high quality materials & bearings, which seems at odds with the reputation stance's other parts have here. Are you guys seeing the same thing?




I stole the image and info from @ft86speedfactory.com's listing. If you want it taken down just pm me and it'll be gone ASAP.
Aurora is a good company, but they have a range of products.

Something like a loaded slot rod end would be better than a 3 piece design. (They are more resistant to dirt. )

Also with the plating colour they are probably carbon steel as opposed to alloy steel.

The description not correct either, there will usually be sintered bronze (like Oilite) pressed in not steel, and the zinc plating I'm familiar with isn't gold coloured. It's probably cad (not that it's really a major deal).

A side-by-side with a factory piece would be helpful, too.

(I'm assuming the piece is machined 6061 aluminum...)
