Those are designed for movement that includes axial misalignment and in a typical A arm your pivot axis travels through the two inner connections. It seems those joints are designed for considerably moe axial misalignment than your typical A arm will encounter. Plus they are rather big.

They make them smaller. What I like is being able to grease them, and a better ride on the street.

Not quite sure how they are going to ride any smoother then rubber press in bushings.

I was wondering the same thing. They could give you more articulation and be much quieter than the typical "groaning" poly bushing I have on a Heidt rear four link. Even after greasing it doen't take long till they are noisy again. I thought I saw Art Moorison is offering them on their four links now.

Page 23 of their catalog show the rod end options with features and benefits. :thumbsup:

Apparently Strange Engineering is the original designer of the Johnny Joint.

In a 4 link application they work great. The OP talked about using them on his upper control arms in place of his rod ends.
