Roded end parts

Ive been interested into buying lca's and a panhard rod arm with the roded parts.
But ive heard that they are loud and noisy. Creeking and cracking, I already have enough from the car so I cant deal with more. Any of you guys run these pieces? Looking for some input. I know they improve handling lots but creeks are an issue.

Creeking and cracking, are usually associated with polly bushings not Rod Ends. Rod Ends move quite freely and are themselves noise free. What they do is increase vibrations, and harshness, by transmitting the road noises into the frame and body of the car.
Doesn't sound like they would be for you.
Some LCA's have one Rod End and one polly which gives good handling and a little less noise.
