Thanks

Well, other than stock arms, the only "good" ones use a spherical Johnny Joint... and the only ones that use that type of bushing are Currie and Edelbrock.

Spherical Rod-End bearings are much more common (lots of mfg'rs make them with rod-ends) but they wear out rather quickly.

Avoid any upper arm with poly bushings or similar single-axis hard bushings.
