Uni-Ball Joints......Where?

Where do you recommend that I get Uni-Ball joints from? I am among other things, redoing my 4-link with a 3-link set-up. I guess making the 4 link was alot of wasted effort, but I have learned alot since then and I want to do it right this time.

So where can I get them from? I found some from ALL Pro, but they have rubber bushings in them.....is this normal or is it normally nylon or poly?

Actually yes.......at some point......but right now I'm redoing the rear suspension. I built a pretty good 4-link when I lifted it, but I want to get rid of the panhard bar. I have read alot about doing this properly. I lengthened the bars the last time that I did the suspension, but not nearly long enough. More or less because of lack of knowledge and listening to some people on here. We live and learn and modify our rigs all the time, so it's all ok. I have it right now and I might even do a write-up on it. Maybe not though since I will be moving the fuel tank.

I NEED PARTS FOR MY ENGINE THAT ARE HIDING ON ME. GOING TO TOYOTA TOMORROW AFTER CLASS TO ORDER SOME CAMRY TIMING COVERS. LETS ALL CROSS OUR FINGERS THAT THEY ARE THE ONES THAT I NEED.

Call Garret or Dave at Poly Performance if you want the right stuff.

Cebby moved it here......there shouldn't be two threads. Unless you were talking about my engine project, and I was just telling them that I'm still working on it along with my new suspension set-up.

I'm sorry to have offended you with multiple threads.

One was started today in Off Road.

This one was bumped, by you in Fab.

Offended, not really.

Entertained since I read the first in Off road, replied, now read this one, replied and am laughing.

Thanks for the help guys. I ordered some from PolyPerformance. I got 3 since it's a 3-link setup. The frame end of the "V" shaped upper link only need normal end links since they can only pivot one way. I figured since the upper link is limited to 30 degrees of movement, then unilballs were only needed on one end of the lower arms too.

Does this sound about right? Seems right to me though I know that other people have used 7 uniballs joints. I just don't see that it's needed......maybe with a custom 4-link set-up.
