I would use 1/2" or 5/8" of you get the chromoly ones. If I was doing a wishbone, I'd make the singe joint a 3/4" heim and put high misalignments on it to make it look cool.

Did you look at this page? http://ballisticfabrication.3dcartstores.com/High-Misalignment-_c_81-1.html
Its not a bung at all, it lets the heim pivot farther. There is an animated image on that page that shows how they work.

I would use somethign like that if it were the only source for pivot on that plain of the axle.
