...If Your going to Go with Heim Joints...Purchase the Ones with a 'Grease Nipple'/Zerk Fitting!! You can Grease them 'In-Place', Grease In, pushes the Dirt Out! The joints will wear much slower if Not at all; they'll Last much longer!! Yes, the rubber washers work, but Fresh Grease is Great too.

A couple of observations...The neck on that New Heim Joint is very Thin! It will Snap-Off there! I do NOT recommend 'Heims' for a Street/Road Car. They are for the RaceTrack Only(There are NO 'Potholes' on Racetracks). (Although I have Used them On the Street at the Ends of 'Anti-Sway' Bars). The Original Ball Joint 'Looks' Thin, But is actually Much Wider, when Viewed at 90 Degrees.

Last...What is with the Stacks of Washers?? Johnny, Your Better than That!! Get on a Lathe and Machine Some 'Spacers' out of Stainless Steel! OR are they There Temporarily?? Just My Opinion. Your work Looks Great!!...
