I am just wondering about the articulation of heim joints with high misalignment spacers. The QA1 website says 52 degrees for 3/4" to 6/8" spacers and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320248819865&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr12_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=370049241668&itemcount=12&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m184&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DS%252BI%252BSS%26itu%3DISS%252BUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D12#ht_3082wt_0 says only 27 degrees are they just giving the articulation in one direction from center? also are those ebay ones good enough for a balljoint application in custom control arms?

27 degrees is half of 52 degrees, so they are telling you how far it moves in one direction. 27 degrees is about how far the average stock ball joint moves in one direction.

But, 3/4 and 6/8 are the same thing.

a lot of long travel suspension kits for quads use heims instead of balljoints
