spherical/roller bearing shock bushings
has any company came out with this yet? just like we have spherical panhard bar ends we can have this instead of the pressed in bushings on the shocks especially the front shocks, or a roller bearing may work just as well or even better to keep it balanced. i dont see why this has not been used by some of the companys for the shocks.
here is a pic to show what im exactly talkin bout
you can see the rubber bushings at the ends where they connect

^^ not really, some other after market companies do this with the spring perches they sell for my brothers car so i thought it would be a good idea to have it on the F body suspension

I never even thought of this subject before. I don't think I've noticed much issue with the rubber mounts in the past on any message boards. Rod end bushings can wear slightly over time, as well as them being the more harsh/noise transmitting bushing type over rubber. I guess maybe since there's no performance drawback with rubber and they hold up, that they'd be more preferable over the stiffer rod ends. Not to mention rod ends would be more expensive.
This was a complete guess though... just kinda whipped that up out of nowhere. It might have no merit... but hopefully I'm close
