i had an idea... (rear coilover conversion)

people dont seem to trust the uniball? setup to hold everything on at the spring plate end, because its a small joint and only one... whats stopping running a parallel bar setup from say the two rear bolt locations on the bar housing to two matching holes on the trailing arm / irs arm? this would make the load spread over 2 joints instead of one... i cant picture any issues with any alignment issues or anything hitting/binding provided its pushed out enough & the outer cover is solid i doubt it would ever break... id love to hear other peoples thoughts on this as my cars in peices, thought its an idea worth sharing with a more experienced audience. thanks everyone
