I had them and due to some warranty work that was carried out OEM were put back on. If Andy hadn't of told me I would have never known

Either use OEM with limiters or do it properly and rose joint.

I drove Bealos on road a bit and only knew it had them when I saw the invoice from 2009

So no noticeable on road difference between OEM or POWERFLEX except the latter will last much longer

It's what I was hoping to hear, THANX

Why will they last longer than OEM with limiter? Sure some posts on here say they tear after a short time? I really wouldn't bother, if you want to locate it properly then do a proper job on it, for anything else OEM with limiter is fine.

had them for a while

no noise what so ever.

turner motorsports makes a spherical (solid) rtab that also makes no noise and actually makes the rear end feel that much more stable

also have these as my oem rubber ones were slowly dying -
