Didn't see anything like a full list of various suspension joint on here. Time to put one together.

I'd like to list out all of the suspension joint manufacturers and retailers that we use. Maybe even sort them all out by dimensions and materials at some point.



Post up any that you can think of.

Just for some additional clarification there - Johnny Joint is Curries actual trademarked product, the general public just started calling every rebuildable cartridge joint a Johnny Joint because of how common the currie products had become. But true Johnny Joints are unique with an impressively durable soft race material that allows some assembly preload and decent NVH cushioning. Just about every other rebuildable cartridge joint out there like the Barnes Enduro joints or Summit Machines options use a hard race material. Don’t get my wrong they also have their own solid reputations, but the distinction is worth making.

This is something I've followed for almost 20 years now.

I'm hoping to catalog all these joint options and possibly list their origins.

EMF has been badass, though I did see a while ago that they more or less quit with heims so that they could focus on their balljoint line.

Great source of options here.

Think I bought my last steering heims from Summit Racing.

Not sure what these would be used for but they look like a excellent way to use bad ass sealed ball joints as tie rod ends
