Not sure what you're saying here.
Funniest part is I had no idea what a heim joint was until I searched it. Upon which the results were pretty much 100% what was supplied earlier as a heim joint.

Yeah, that's not correct. Rod ends and other 'Heim' style spherical joints are radially rated, not axially.
"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. "
