Who MAKES (not sells) the BEST heims?
I know a lot of vendors sell them, but what brand is best? I have used 3 different brands, and am still looking for some quiet ones. Must be adjustable.
Please don't post the xyz race shop "sells" good ones. I want to know who MANUFACTURES the heim, for example Aurora or Midwest or ????
Which is BEST in your EXPERIENCE, not so and so told me these were good. BEST would include quiet, no clicky/clacky.
Thanks.

Aurora Bearings with the teflon liner are BEST in my opinion. I have many of them in the rear of my C4 and they make zero noise.

I'm partial to Aurora and have never had an issue with their products. Absolutely top notch, and the prices to prove it.
I also have sold and installed hundreds of FK and QA1 bearings on race cars (mostly oval track) without issues, but they are often not quite as quiet, depending upon which model.
The key is ensuring that you are using the proper unit for the application.
