Google found it for me "Heim joints" (UK). (Rose Joint in the US)
Yep.
I'm at work now but I'm keen to pull the old ones apart and see what's in the centre of them.
It appears the Hiem Joints are pretty ridgid. There maybe a very small amount of movement between the ball and socket but only very minimal. All the shock absortion of movement will be in the poly bushes in the Watts to Chassis mounts. I can't see this being a problem at all.
Happy Days.
Hymed all joints, there are 2 classes of steel used and I went the best. Works great and like I said it's been a few yrs now.great cheap mod, . Be it for mor extreme off rd or just daily driver. Tapping on the ph here :mad:
Lucky it didn't Auto correct or we'd be talking about how long a Hymen will last.:oQuote:

Probably cheaper and better than any of the premade kits like I have.
Bahahaha , yep. Today I Hymened everything on my wattsamething
Yep, only bit that does not really need the articulation, but also it does not matter either.Quote:

U didnt upgrade to "Cranked" links Joel?
Nah, I don't see the need at 2" lift. The arms/links are still pretty level. I'll take a picture when I get them back in tomorrow.Quote:
