Only way to go on a race car!
It allows the lower arm to pivot on the control arm pivot shaft with no
side loading on the shaft due to increased caster.

Are
"rod ends where the lower control arm joins the crossmember"
like threaded rose joints? I would be interested to see who has done these
on a 510 and what they think about them. a mate has just done them on a
toyo
and they look pretty trick
any thoughts/experiences??
