Personally I wouldn't use heims on a vehicle I drive on the street. They transmit too much road impacts and vibrations to the frame and me. I prefer bushed rod ends just to soften it up a bit. But if I was to use em I would go no smaller than a 3/4 chromoly.

exactly what he said. heims wear out. all factory cars with a link type rear use rubber bushings. they work.
