you should use a "misalignment bushing" it's like a spacer for each side of the heim joint but, it will allow the heim to deflect and twist etc. you would end up welding the tabs noticeably wider when you use those misalignment bushings. A google for the misalignment bushings will show you what they look like.

Here's a couple of links to show you what they are and what they look like. Probably if you look in your local yellow pages you can find a listing for a store that sells racing equipment. Lots of those performance shops that sell dirt track or auto racing stuff sell them. You may even be able to find them at a good hardware store?

i would try to get them so the tabs are 3" apart so if you ever deicide to rock bushing ends you can still use the same tabs.
