Heim joints of appropriate quality for vehicle use are very expensive - allow approx $140-$160 each. They do not neccessarily allow more movement than other forms of bush - generally not over 17 degrees.

I would look towards ORI joints (encapsulated urethane) or johnny joint types. these are servicable and much cheaper.

Be very careful to allow enough roll stiffness in the rear to not hinder balance. Many coil converted cars have too littel roll stiffness to keep front wheels on the ground while climbing.

Sorry Kirk did his himself.
We use nissan bushes as they are as cheap as the others mentioned and after trying them all the nissans gave a better ride and lasted longer.
