Hi Blake,

Try this lot: ASKUBAL

This is the supplier for the LMP's rod ends and bearings.

Blake, most quality rod ends have between 10 to 15 deg misalignment, it varies depending on size,the bigger the rod end the more angle it will cope with. but for extreem misalignment you can get specials that will cope with up to 65 deg.
hope that helps
cheers Kaspa

I am not sure what a1, a3 and a4 mean either and I think the best is to download the drawing of the rodend you are looking for from their CAD Drawings page and find out the real misalignment angle for yourself

have a look here:
