Rod End vs Bushings

[Sleeper_08]

The general consensus in this thread is that rod ends add road noise and maybe let more gear whine through. However, I ran across a thread on a GT500 forum where a guy installed rod ended parts LCAs and a PHB and said there was no increase in noise level at all:

How is it that he did not get a noise increase, but everyone else does? Maybe because he retained a rubber bushing in the UCA?

Maybe he was deaf or had the stereo turned up to 11?
