Ron,

Can you explain why the larger ends have a smaller load rating? And are the costs between the 2 sizes actually the same? Interesting...

I replaced all of the ones in the rear of my car last summer with a set of QA1 ends. I cannot remember the exact 'family' of parts I used at the moment, but I did get the ones with the liners. XM series perhaps?
