Question Spherical rod end = end links

Those of you who made these instead of bought them from Mazdatrix or another site..

The rod ends I just bought are much too narrow. Did you use washers to move the rod end to center? What about at the sway bar itself?

I have Mazdatrix kit, but can tell you that they use chamfered conical bronze bushings locating the rod ends on the bolts. They stress the importance of locating the chamfer towards the ball on the rod end to avoid binding problems. Ian

Yeah, exactly why I don't want to use washers, it just looks like it would bind..

The conical bronze bushings look kinda like ring fetters, maybe you can find those in a metric size easier than the bushings?
