>What is a Heim joint?

Alan,

A heim joint is a ball socket joint. Usually the 'socket' is arranged
around the 'equator' of the ball. (like if saturns rings wer thick
and snugly "hugging" the planet...

Aircraft pushrods often end in heim joints.

Four-wheelers use them in suspensions.

Hope this helps.
