There is very little tech on this version of end links and I,m sure there is a reason for it, But I have to ask anyhow.

Has any one tried using Ford style radius bushings on a for or three link style supension?, Using pivoting mounts up front to aid in travel. The small picture I am adding is poor and not intended to be in scale.http://www.explorerforum.com/data/2/752401090002.jpg

I've got a local builder who experimented with the donut bushings in his links....he now runs heims. The donuts would last one trip, maybe too, then loosen.

Yes I could see that.

A guy in my club runs them in the front. Reason being was basically simplicity. He swapped in a ford frontend and retaining the stock radius arms and bushings was the cheapest/easiest way to go. It has worked great for him so far.
