need some help

I am working on the 65's front end.It is a strut front end that use's a mustang /capri style strut.The lower contols arms are nice pieces. The problem I have is they have a piece on the outer end,nearest to the wheel.It is like a heim joint end but with no threaded part.Only the bearing portion it is held in place with with a snap ring. I've had no luck finding these I think they are a common piece because I had asome old lower arms from another car and it has the same pieces but they are wore out. Am I calling them the wrong thing ???? any thoughts where I can find them? demensions are center hole is for 1/2 bolt outside of bearing case is 1 1/4 inch It is .625 in thick. Thanks for any help.

Aurora bearing company will probably be able to help.

Barney would Bearing end be the right thing to ask for?

You can ask for that, but I would just explain what you have and maybe email them a picture and that would give them all the info I would think to help you.

Could you modify it to have a nut welded on it then just use a regular joint?

I usually refer to a rod-end/heim joint without the threaded shank as a spherical bearing/spherical bearing joint.

are they the same thing as the strange strut setup uses? sounds like it..........

That's not it .It is a full motion ball type end just like a heim joint but has flat machined shoulders and is held in by a snap ring.Some of the high end shocks use this type of bearing only smaller.
auoria bearing has some that I think will work.Ya'll should check that out they have a bearing for anything. I ordered a bearing from speedway that may be the right one so I,m waiting on it to get here if it is not right I will pull the out of the car so I will have it in my hand when I call auoria.I'll photo it and put it up here.

I had not thought of that .I would rather do it with the right bearing if I can,but that is a option that will work.
According to the bearing place the right nae is spherical bearing end .

Best part about Aurora Bearing is that they are 20 minutes from me, hehe

I bet they have a impressive stock. You have to order EVERYTHING here.

I think that spherical bearing in the link might be a low angle unit for their big bore anti-rolls.




I'm guessing your looking for something like one of these off the Aurora site?



Is there a number on the bearing you have?

Ward I thought that car had the spindle from a 74ish Capri which is not the same as a Mustang ?
