Looking for greasable joints suspension joints for a daily driver.
Sizes 1 1/4" are easy to find for the lower links.
I am not finding many for the upper links in the rear. Ideally I would like to find a 7/8" shank 3/4" bore. That is a common size for a rod end. Barnes4wd has an Enduro joint in 7/8 but it is listed as having a 7/16 bore. I don't trust that in a link.
Anyone have any links or suggestions. Trying to avoid squeaking hiems and constant maintenance.
 
maybe get some weld-ons a put a stud on them?

What size link material? could you just cut the bung out and weld in a 1-1/4" bung?
 
Just a basic 1 3/4" dom link. builder bushing on the chassis side. Needing a joint for the axle side.
Looking into a threaded bushing at the chassis side and weld on uniball. The downside is it cost more. I may end up using 1 1/4" on the uppers as well. Plenty strong just a little overkill.
 
Ballistic fab has them. Standard 2.63" wide joint with 7/8 shank.
