Id stay away from those types of heim joints unless you want to be replacing them often. There is no way to grease them and they are not protected from dust and dirt. My old Track bar was a adjustable rough country with the similar heim joint lasted 5 months. Recommend getting stuff with the rebuildable greaseable flex joints.

Have about 50-75k on my 7/8" heim track bar in my cummins and 5-15k on the jeep 7/8" bar.
Also upper control arm is 7/8 heim. lowers are 1.25"
I did have one heim last about 5k on our work truck. Ruff stuff sent a free replacement
I tend find ball joints barely last for a drive around the block while have good luck with heims.

I also got a bad 1ton tie rod end from ruff stuff they also sent a free replacement.
I dont consider ruff stuff high end stuff. Out of 8-15 joints I've got 2 bad ones.
if they make alot of sales each day id assume they're scattering a handful of junk parts across the country each day.
