best for rod ends

[tjrider]

I'm looking to possibly make my own 4 link short arms for the tj. Just wondering where/who has the best ends....? I've searched around but they're all back and forth. Or would it be cheaper to just buy a set off the shelf?

I read that wd40 breaks down the teflon coating. Not right away or anything but over time. I hear its best to use stuff called Triflow. They sell it at bike shops. I hear its better for metal-metal contact.
