" I don't know why everyone is so in love with those 70-up ball joint upper 
" arms. They have their problems too!

their major advantage now is that parts - at least more of them - are
easier to find than for the trunnion setups.

" I know that the 64-69 AMX type trunnion has problems; I've not torn one 
" down, but there's some weird rubber part that wears badly, and I don't know 
" how good aftermarket urethane replacements hold up.

iirc the best aftermarket replacement is made from uhmwpe.  this is
polyethylene with a molecular weight around 3 million - for
comparison, motor oil is about 30.  i have a sample somewhere around
here, postcard size, 1/4" thick.  it -clinks- when you drop it, very
hard.  it's still polyethylene-slick.
