Wow thats pretty awesome. Kinda getting the up side of spherical rod ends, with the isolation qualitys of a rubber type. Can't wait to see how thes work out. Allthough it dosent look like it has all that much room to articulate.

I see that doing nothing but giving little more room for grease. From the other pic on the site looks like the 2 side bushings are still holding the sleave still tight, even if there was room for it to move I see that little rubber ball squishing pretty easy under load.
Edit: I see they are using softer rubber for the outer cups, maybe this idea might work out if the inner ball could hold up.

MM has been making something very similar for mustangs for years, I'm not sure how far they'll get with their patent. These bushings won't completely remove bind like they say, but it is a giant step in the right direction.
