Thanks for the tips on Johnny Joints. 30 degrees of rotation compared to only 22* with a heim. A lot of other ppl say these johnny joints are very quiet compared to heims.
So far Poison Spider and Xtreme Engineering suggest using 1.5" .25 wall DOM sleeved wtih 1.75" .120 wall for my lower joints and 1.5" .25 wall DOM for the upper joint. I like the idea of using Johnny Joints with the threaded ends so if one ever breaks you can easily remove the old one and replace with a new one. Here are some from Currie that I may go with.
Since my lower arms have a bend in them I'm not sure if I can use 2 johnny joints on each end cause the arm may flop around to much. I may have to use a boulder bushing or something at the frame.
Thanks for everyone's comments. All are good ideas.
