Default A frame ball joint?

Just saw lucky8's post about some new wide angle ball joint for the a frame. It seemed there is only 1, and its only in the rear? only ones ive ever heard of are the upper and lower on each side for steering... granted this is my first 4x4 lol

Anyone have a diagram or picture of where this is on a d2? I just had the terrafirma hd steering rods installed with all new joints etc... figure, if there is something i can slap in the back to replace old components, why not!

Just like the watts link in back of our D2 or the panhard bar up front, the rear A-frame locates the axle side to side, but still allows for motion, hence the ball joint.
