Yeah I’m sorry. I apologise. I think it didn’t cross my mine that the front pivot was a bearing was because I thought it was the same on the old ones and all of AF’s commentary was on the rear bushes. It would have been helpful in the discussion - I think AF need to update their description.

all good mate take care

The illegal bit I think comes to modifying or the standard design. Not the design where the Rose joint is held Inside a steel cage. If you google rose joint the are plenty of photos of drifter cars etc putting them in for extra adjustment and fast.. plenty of trucks have a spherical Bush design contained in rubber, nylon etc that's still called a rose joint. I think the issue is.. The rose joint you google. When it fails.. Well. People get hurt. But these bushes are held inside of a metal housing casing after the bush, so less likely to end in pain.
