Yes i have done it. And you better do it too!!! Much much better. With me the silent blocks use to fall of or wear down fast. I have Intrax shocks and Henk Thuis of Intrax told me that with TVR that is a common problem. So he put rose joints on my shocks. Not much noise. Just very much better. I do not know why i hear so little of the rose joints over here because for me it transformed the car and they do not wear down. By the way i think you can call Intrax about it. Dutch company. Make sure you have the right rose joints. Intrax shocks are kinda expensive same price of Ohlins but my brother uses them on all his racing ferrari´s. Good luck. And do not listen to people telling you it has no use or something. Just do it.

You're definitely talking about rose joints on the wishbones, not on the damper? I imagine you're need to make your own wishbones, although you may be able to rebuild the ends on the existing ones.

peninsula do tubular woshbones with bushes in threaded rods, would be an easy conversion to spherical rod ends I think?
