SDW or CMP RTABs

Is anyone here using SDW, CMP, or another ball joint RTAB? Any NVH increase?

Thanks!

I have SDW, there is a bit more road noise and harshness. Very subtle, but is there

Would you still go with SDW if doing it again, or OE + limiters?

Hi, I am of the opinion that the limiters just reduced the parasitic movement in this joint, the ideal solution is to have a proper articulation, which the monoball does. is very minor, not enough to not do them again.

The only bushing I did change to monoball, which I reverted back, where the rear strut mounts, those did give solid thumbs during concrete joints and sharp bumps. the RTA effectively create a bit more harshness, but not extra noise or vibrations. is just the H in the NVH name lol.
