So my umi roto-joints won’t fit in the s60 rearend because the ears are too thick. The slot for the snap ring isn’t exposed when the shoulder is seated on the other side of the ear. This leaves 4 options for me:
1) Don’t use the snap ring - no
2) Grind the ear to provide clearance to the snap ring - no
3) replace the roto-joint with poly bushings - possible if I don’t do #4
4) replace the roto-joint wit rubber and run a watts link

My questions are, does anybody have experience with a watts link on a g body, and what are good rubber bushings to use?

Theres a 5th. Run a heim with spacers to match the inner spread of the mount. Teflon lined is still fairly inexpensive, and your quickest option
