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 ?
I've had problems with bump steer on my car if you do a google search there's loads of info about it.
Bumpsteer is caused by the steering arm getting longer and shorter thoughout its travel and steering the wheel. If you use a rose joint on the steering arm you can use spacers to raise or drop the arm in relation to the TCA to keep the length the same as the suspension arc's.
If you read up on it bumpsteer can be used in some situations.
