rose joints?

[green_machine]

so, I've been thinking of trying to loosen up the flex in my 80, without going 3 link or wristing.

I have come to the conclusing that chaning the frame side to a rose joint might be beneficial. Anyone do this, or has everyone just done the orbital or johnny joint/heim thing.

In my experience, you don't gain much flex with johhny's/heims, just more maintenance.

Rose joint....Pics? What shocks are you running? That might be the place to start.

a rose joint is the same as the broncos and rovers. arm forms a stud, with bushing for and aft of the mount.

allows x and y movement.

You sure you want x y and Z movement?

well, more actually. the standard bushing mount allows great up down, and very limited arcs. I want to allow the arms to not bind so much in the mount. the panhard will center the axle/keep it located.
