I had concerns similar to Gregg with my swaged QA1 rod ends, they are brand new and have perceptible play in them, it would be less than 1mm but is perceptible by hand, I guess this is due to the way they are made.
Upgraded to the XM's, lovely units, just need to be careful with fitment to the application as they are quite a bit more chunky than the swaged units;
I bought mine for about $85 a pair from Speedway Australia (Ph 03 59 444 777), they were extremely helpful, would not hesitate to go back for other stuff.
