ball joint or heim joints for tie rod ends?

A traditional tie rod end will live longer on the street. We only recommend rod ends when you are using them as a component of a adjustable assembly for tuning bump-steer. If the suspension is properly engineered they're not necessary for an all-around driver.

It's just going to come down to how much you're gonna drive the car and in what kind of conditions. A Teflon lined rod end is a good idea for durability's sake.

Keep in mind that if you put a bump-steer adjuster on the end you actually have to adjust it. I have had customers put them on and then call me asking why the front end was all over the place. Once we figured out they hadn't set it up at all they had it tuned at a reputable race shop and it worked amazing.
