The PPC heim joint used to require one sending in the shaft for machining to an SAE heim bore size, not sure if that is still the case, which never made any sense to me as suitable metric heim (rod end) joints are readily available for less than that PI billet version! I'd have to measure the shaft again, but it's 18 or 19mm diameter if I recall correctly.

The stock one allows for misalignment, while the bling style you have is notably less tolerant. Elevation has to be very precise to prevent binding.

I just bought a Billet Trunnion Bushing from PI Motorsports which appears on this page of their website about half way down
I mistakenly assumed that the poly bushing in it has some misalignment capability (i.e. a spherical bushing) but alas, no, it is pressed into the aluminum and rigid.
Has anyone had good or bad experiences using this item?
