I only use Aurora rod ends for the LCA they are part number AU-PRM-10T.

But the answer to your question is .625 Bore, 5/8-18 Thread RH

For sure, use a brand name rod end like Aurora, Ampep, etc.

The lower control arm has two sizes. It has the big one out by the wheel and smaller ones at the frame. What size is the smaller one at the frame?

The inner is a RAM-7T or an AM-7T

Perhaps it is the engineer in me but there is a difference in load rating between the RAM, AM and PRM series provided. The -7 or -10 specifies the size and T is for Teflon lined. But what is the reasoning for selecting one series (RA, A or PR) over the other? Cost? Shank or rod end failing before the upright? LCA failing before the rod end?

Check out F.K. Bearing too. High quality and reasonably priced. [That is the FK Bearings in CT, not China]
