I've used the T3 weld on LCA kit on my brothers AE86 and it's great. Finishing off another pair tomorrow arvo for my pano. I wouldn't personally run rod-ends to replace a bush at any other location on a street car other than LCA's or Panhard rod. LCA's and Panhard are side to side movement so keep things firm with handling. Stuff like trailing arms and caster arms I stay with bushes (front to rear load, acceleration/braking).
