Not sure what you're saying here. Quote:

Rod end bearing.....
Or It's a "pillow ball rose joint". Or, because it's a big world... A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_end_bearing Or, squeaky noisy joints that wear out pretty quick if you dont look after them. |
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_bearing
Sticking a thread on it doesn't make it not a spherical bearing. |
This argument is confusing.
A rod end is a spherical bearing, but a spherical bearing isn't necessarily a rod end. And if you refer to a rod end as a spherical bearing, you will likely confuse people and/or not get what you want. It is kind of like asphalt concrete. Asphalt is concrete, but if you say concrete, you aren't going to end up with asphalt. |

"Dynamic Load Rating for Spherical Plain Bearings Dynamic load rating is used for calculations when the spherical plain bearing is subjected to dynamic stress. It represents the load, constant in magnitude and direction, under which a basic rating service life, expressed as a sliding distance, will be attained for continuous oscillating movement at a defined sliding velocity and at room temperature. It presupposes that the load acting on radial and angular spherical plain bearings and on rod ends is purely radial and that the load acting on spherical plain thrust bearings is purely axial and acts centrically.

There's a lot of people still confused about terminology, apparently. You're correct that a rod end is a spherical bearing; it simply has a male or female threaded end attached to it for ease of use. "Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank forming a housing and a standard spherical plain bearing, or a spherical plain bearing inner ring, or a spherical plain bearing inner ring and a sliding layer between the bore of the head and the inner ring." Pointing to a rod end and calling it a spherical bearing doesn't confuse anyone who works with them, other than "rod end" rolls off the tongue a bit easier. Heim is a company who make rod ends and other types of spherical bearings. Aurora is another company who make them AST is another. They are brands, not functional descriptions. If you say "Heim", I'm going to assume you specifically mean that brand. |

Precisely why I didn't want them if I could avoid it. Thankfully, these appear to be weatherproofed pretty well. And now that I said that, they're gonna start clunking... :rolleyes: |
What's yer rear camber now? With camber bolts you won't have a bunch of front camber anyway, IMO just leave rear stock and balance should be fine.

Do you know if the rear LCA are the same in all years or did they change at some point. Rock auto doesnt list anything for 2019 but does for 2013
