Default Track bar questions!!!!??
I know it's possible to make a heim joint or Johnny joint track bar but what's the down side or up sides to them vs a rubber bushing

They don't absorb vibrations as well as rubber.


Most guys who run a joint on one end run either a polyurethane or rubber bushing on the other end.

This x2 i made mine with a poly bushing frame side and a 3/4 rod end axle side. I dont think you can fit a johnny joint.
