If spherical rod ends were used on a triangulated 4-link instead of bushings, wouldn't that eliminate binding during extreme body roll?

Even a 3 or 4 link with a Wishbone or Watts linkage would bind if the 3-4 links had bushings instead of rod ends.



Assuming we are talking about "handling" and not drag racing, in roll, spherical bearings would increase bind, leading to "snap oversteer", when the spring rate rises extremely fast as system binds. The fact the fox body is a tin can, it works until it rips apart, and the reason there must be some compliance in the design, dual durometer bushings, flexible upper arms in twist, etc. The arms are all? swinging thru different competing arcs, causing the bind.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
