Default Johnny joints?

Do they make Johnny joint as replacements for worn out Control arm bushings or would you have to cut one end off and thread it to use on like in the pic?For all who do not know what a Johnny Joint is here is a pic.

they make them without the shank too. you could just cut the bushing sleeve off and weld these back on.

That was another opinion I just figured If I was going to do all that I would make them adjustable, ya know. But I would like to find them so I did not have to do any of that.

true enough. you could just buy new control arms with the JJs in the them. RCs new ones have a joint similar to the johnny in them.

Ha! I just got the fixed ones without them. I got them used cheap and the bushings need changed that is why I was looking at these. I got both upper & lower for $120!
