Ok not that type of a joint. I would like to build my own 4 link using johnny joints, or should I use heim joints. I would like to know what would be the best and where would be the best place to buy them. Also I would need the weld in inserts. Let me describe best to you. Best product for the money.

Ask for Chris Nissley in the sale department and tell him Randy told you to call. It won't get you any better deal, but it will help me out.

They have all the joints and inserts you would need. They will even custom cut tubing to your lenghts, or fab to your specs. They are just down the road from me so I go over and pick my stuff up. It is a well run business. They have their own cnc machines and do beautiful work. Their inserts look like modern art they are machined so nice.
Poke around on their site, they make some insane competition rigs.

I'm about to take all of my superflex joints off and put currie joints in their place. I'm running SF joints at the trackbar and both ends of my uppers, one end of my lowers (only 2 rubber bushings in the whole front end).
Superflex joints use hard teflon that passes a LOT of roadvibe on, and I keep wearing out the joints on my uppers.
Currie's joints use a poly liner instead of teflon, that seems to damper a bit more road vibe and hold up a bit longer.

I run jj's and really like them.
The only down fall is needing a vise to replace the poly bushings.
For my next project I would like to try these evolution joints.

None personally.My friend had Currie arms on his rig,and since I own a press guess who got to help re-shim/rebuild them.Theyre a PITA,they also dont take grease well.He ended up swapping them out with my old RE arms.As far as noise goes,He's never said anything about that!NRT_Chris said:
Currie now sells a press that you can use under the jeep to change the bushings. I have to disagree about the not taking grease well statement. I have had them on my jeep for about a year and have never had a issue with them taking grease. Dose your friend still have the arms? I could use some on anther project.
