2 simple bushings that eliminate the need for a ball type joint on one end. This is the end that wears out the fastest.

the taperd hole that the ball end goes in is wallered out so it will be easyer to convert it than cut it off the frame and go to the junk yard and get one and weld it on

Why bother building one, when you can buy one for such a reasonable price?
