Importantly If it's mounted in single shear you should have a top hat washer on under the bolt head. In the case of a joint failure the body of the rod end wont be able to get past the washer and keep your wheels pointing in the right direction.

I made some rod end conversions for steering arms this way. You can see the top hat washer in this pic.

Cheers
