Spherical Bushings and Rod End supplier

I just found a little gem, PAC just started selling FK rod ends, and they sell F1 (very tight) fit by default, the pricing is also the best I have seen, no more screwing around and having to special request F1 fit. Summit wanted $20 for some I just ordered and PAC is charging me $11, I also had to sit on the phone with summit for 25 mins to get the F1 fit on them.

That is cheap. I ordered from this place before.

What is the F1 fit and is it worth the cost to upgrade over non-F1?

No cost in F1 with PAC.
F1 is the tightest fit they offer, everything from maximum motorsports is F1 fit and made by FK, it's great for suspension components.
FK bearings are also made in the USA

FK Fits offered:
F1- Super tight fit, not really able to move the ball by hand. used in suspensions and control arms.
Over time, it has a chance to burnis in (loosen up) and works very smoothly. Longest Life In OFFROAD RACING!

F2- Tight fit but can still move the ball by hand. Used in sway bars and shifters.
Snug but not over-tight and not usually load bearing.

F3- Loose fit, ball moves freely in rod end. Used in carburetor linkages and
and shift linkages. Loose so that it does not bind up.

Ok. I remember getting some aluminum heims from them and they were pretty tight.
