Sphericle bearings in a1 control arms

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

The biggest problem with sphericals/Heim joints is that they have zero tolerance for dirt and water.  Figure on replacing them frequently.

  Shine racing sells this setup:

  Looks like it would be pretty easy to replicate with parts from mcmaster carr..... anyone try this yet?
   
  Installing bearings on the rear suspension  should be even easier. The major snags I can forsee are finding the bearings with correct I.D. + O.D. and then preventing corosion.
