I clearly haven't been paying enough attention lol

That just about answers my question then, I was curious due to safety issues but there no weaker/stronger than a TCA rod end I suppose and that is quite crucial that it stays where it should

I've always been led to believe that having the steering arms as flat as possible is the way to do things, I had some inverted carriers made for a nova that accepted the oe rod end, the advantage of using a rose joint is being able to set the angle rather than it being fixed dependant on the ride height, ofcourse its another area to be adjusted but what is optimum ?
