Ends for suspension links?
Has, or does, anyone used ends such as Suicide Doors Super Pivot Joints, Rustys Offroad, Flex Joints, or Currie Ent. Johnny Joints instead of heims in 3 or 4 link arms? Seems to me the greasable joints with delrin races would be much quieter, better lubricated and easier to maintain than using heims, poly or delrin bushings. The much larger OD could present some packaging problems though, especially with a 3 link. Just a thought.

yes it has been done. A few people on here recommend them for those reasons. Use the search and try to find the previous threads.

I swapped my Heim joints out for Spohn's new Del-Spheres:

Highly recommended.

We`ve been using and selling the Currie Johnny Joints for years. They work great, last about forever and they have them in hundreds of sizes, including a new slimline series. The Delspheres are new so they don`t have as many sizes available but they`re priced right and are made to last as well. They`ve already become good sellers. JJ has slightly better mid/high frequency NVH isolation and the Delspheres have slightly less deflection. Either way you`re GTG.
