Yes/no. The concept of these is great for a 4-bar to eliminate the bushing bind. These joints in particular are just too big (unless your heading to BAJA or KOTH). These Monster balls have a 1 1/8" shank, 3" width and 9/16" bolt I.D. Now, we do have a smaller version with a 3/4" shank, but, they are 1 5/8" wide and use a 7/16" bolt, so they don't fit into any common existing bracket. If you already have a standard 1 3/4" wide by 5/8" I.D. 4-bar bushing, and you really want to free it up, poly lined rod ends are your best bet.
