Re-read my description, then look at the product. It's a threaded shank with a round body....very much like a heim. It has a rubber bushing and metal sleeve in place of a ball...just like I said.
I have an older QA1 catalog with that as an option for their Rock Ends... However I don't see them listed now on their website and not sure where that Catalog ran off too. Midwest control carried something similar for a long time as well and that is now not to be found either... Dang man. Might be worth a shout to a QA1 dealer to see if they just aren't listed on their website?Re-read my description, then look at the product.

Wasnt suggesting buying from ballistic, and you're saying Johnny joint, so how is what you linked any differant?
Rusty's Offroad makes a forged joint that is close to what Ballistic offers. There two different versions, one uses a OEM TJ upper control arm bushing that just presses in the housing (2" wide). The other uses a OEM TJ lower control arm bushing, also a press in (2.63" wide). I have both in my garage if you need specs of specific pics. They do have a 1-1/4 shank but they might be available with smaller shanks. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could machine down the threads and make them 5/8.
Not even close. He very specifically stated he wanted a bushing assembly with a sleeve. Nowhere in it did he even come near the description of a spherical bearing type end. In fact, he eliminated it completely with this statement....|Hm. Thats actually exactly what he described in his first post.

See that little part about not being spherical.
