I'm not sure yet whether the inner bush will be retained or bit the bullet and go full heim joint.
2) The ball joint end will have a heim joint to enable the camber to be adjusted.
3) The compression strut of the A arm will have a heim joint at each end to enable the caster to be adjusted in situ.
4) The AR bar will have a separate pair of heim joints as yours but will be solidly located to the A arm and not through the old TCA bush.

Are you planning on doing this?
Just to be sure:
Would you still use the inner mountingpoint of the stock LCA?
I've always wondered why the 935 setup uses a tension arrangement, nice to see you'd use a compression one
I know i've said it before, but a heim-joint/rod-end at the outer side of the A-arm isn't really good design. the axial load is OK (though it's made to withstand a much larger radial load), but mainly because of the bending you apply to the shank of the rod-end.
A spherical bearing mounted in the A-arm is a much better design.
And do you think you'll gain a lot with adjustable caster?
