I’ve never heard a rubber enclosed suspension joint pressed in to an arm referred to as a “heim joint”.
Heim joint meaning an exposed metal bearing with a threaded rod. Like all the “racing” lower control arms.
Stock cars do not come with that style of joint on suspension. Lots of enclosed spherical joints on cars from the factory.
