You must really like those Moog vertical problem solver bushings, I've seen you post that a few times

Those are basically non rebuildable joint like the UMI roto-joint. Yes a better idea, but if you happen to autocross your car (realizing not many do, but some do) those might not be legal in certain classes as it changes the type of bushing.

That said I will shortly have them added to my catalog too as it is a better idea.

RJ is rebuildable, unless you might be some how referring to it within a different context (or maybe typo)?

Yes, I know that the UMI roto is rebuildable. The Moog is not.

The verbiage you used presented it in the context that the non-rebuildable Moog joint "is like" the UMI RJ. If Moog is not rebuildable, but it's also "like" the RJ, then one would infer the RJ is not rebuildable either.

The only reason I'm picking out such semantics is because many unquestionably follow your advice (not stating this in a condescending way). I'm presuming you meant to say "unlike".

And hence the problem with the internet. Pick your poison, they are like them and unlike them both.

Ahh I get your point now liberty. That problem solver bushings are like (in a nutshell) a rod end with rubber lining it so it has a quiet operation and tension dispersion, perfect for the vertical bushing in any car, I like that
