vertical or horizontal uni balls

[Ramsey_ElWardani]

You say this because it places the bolt in tension and bolts are designed to be in tension rather than shear, correct?

I'm sure Kevin is referring to the loading on the bearing itself. On the upper arm there is very little axial load on a horizontal bearing, mostly radial loads - and that is what the bearing is designed to handle best.

Did you make the lower arm as a sheetmetal part. . .looks like it; I need to figure out how to use that function in SW's efficiently.

Looks good so far!

yes it is a sheetmetal part. its the lower with out inside gussets and top plate. im working on the guts right now. i made a mock up spindle just so i can line everything up. "that's not the spindle being used"

Verticals last way longer on the bottom.

Are referring to the orientation of the hole in the middle, or the total bearing ?

They're referring to the total bearing. See first post pics.
