This is the quality of the stuff I gave to Maas.

This is what I got back.

Aha, that's interesting. Your inner joints for the suspension arms are self-tapping threas into the pressed arms, running on an Acme-esque thread on the pivot attached to the chassis? My Standard has that setup, and I don't recall seeing another car use the same design. My kingpins between the lower arm and upright (tops are balljoints) are the same design.

Word is that they prefer heavy oil to grease for best performance and wear-prevention.

the more impractical and convoluted my solution to the problem is, the happier it will make me.

Me, RScott and others can see if anyone in aerospace is hiring if you like, you'll fit right in with a design office somewhere.
