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?
The 3/4" × 5/8" rod ends have the same shank & body size as the 3/4" × 3/4" rod ends. Just the bolt hole & ball are smaller. So the 3/4" × 5/8" body has more material ... making it stronger.
