    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.

    I guess there will be no reason why the centre bearing couldn't be a normal roller beaing then Rose/Heim joints in the top and bottom centre bearings. With Rose/Heim joints I can't see why the centre bearing would need to roll, it only need to spin. If that makes sense.

    Probably cheaper and better than any of the premade kits like I have.

    Yep, only bit that does not really need the articulation, but also it does not matter either.

    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.

    Happy Days

    Would the use of Rose/ Hyme joints negate the need to 'crank'.the arms?
