Just a thought on the Impact style setup. You will need to drive the anti spin pin out so you have full articulation. Not sure if there is one or actually how they keep it fronm spinning however food for thought. I have not seen these to accertain.

? i thought about this and you know what you dont need a "ball an socket" joint just a heim joint. weld the spud round rod to the transmision piece make it unersized so it slips in the ball of you heim joint the put the heim joint on the arm horizontal coming in from the back that way youve done the same thing! Keep the center of the ball about the same place as it would be with the ball an sockt joint and its done. 8)
