If I replace my T/C rods with spherical joints and the lower control arm bushings with polyurethane will this cause the suspension to bind when compressed?
Reasoning: When the suspension compresses the T/C rod will pull on the control arm towards the front of the car (because the T/C rod radius is becoming smaller when viewed from the top.). This mandates that the front lower control arm must slightly angle forward pivoting about the rubber bushing. If the bushing were replaced with polyurethane, which will only freely rotate about one axis this motion would cause the suspension to bind. As it would have to compress the very stiff bushing or rotate about more then one axis as the suspension moves.
