Exactly what I thought when I first looked at them! Just never seen them mentioned before.
maybe they just use a bolt through that spherical bearing instead of the separate part?
if you look at the pile of bolts, the two larger ones to the left look like they might go where the ball joints would be?
They use a spherical instead of a balljoint and then a pin that goes into the hub. There is only one type of metal that I would want that pin to be made from to be strong enough and at the price they are selling them for it's not going to be 
I wouldn't risk them on my car. As above they are the same place that does the cheapo cages and says ERW is better than CDS for Roll cages...... i'm out

There are so many flaws in their design its untrue. I mean you have to remove the rod ends from the subframe to adjust them for a start! The bracket for the arb will no doubt bend and deflect negating the effectiveness of the arb, and I won't even pass comment on the pins for the hubs! S**t the f**king bed!!

That pin WILL 100% elongate the bottom hole in the hub. That's assuming its not snapped beforehand of course!!

Weren't these proposed in a group buy a while ago.....and when pplstarted asking questions on the material and the bearings used...it all just went quiet?

I think pms use tubular lower arms.....?
Rose joints are a brand name, they are using spherical bearings for location/pickup points.
We had had what resembles bamboo sticks on a near 200mph gt car suspension years ago......they look alright, so long as correct materials are used, i.e. CDS tubing.

I believe that pms use tubular lower arms on the subframe/hub assembly they built, but the difference is that they are straight arms not bent like these ones, with the front arm used to adjust camber and the rear to adjust castor. Most competition cars run with a similar style/setup to the pms ones as well.
Apologies for the shite description!

^^^^ as if on request! Lol

If you are sure of that, then James doesnt need to worry about the pin needing to be better material, as if its already strong enough to trash the mounting hole then why make it stronger? lol
Wishbones are a really dangerous thing to be making guesses for on a road car, fine for a grass tracker etc, but I'll be sticking with renault ones or at least ones with a proven track record personally, its not the place to save a few quid!

Actually yes, the ones on the race car are the original ones from when we built it. And they are fine.
And not having to replace them often, that's impressive. I take back what I said then. I would have thought they would get shagged, particularly the OBJ's.
What does the Porsche run? As standard wishbone joints and have you modded it?
