Item #6 in the rear suspension forward control arm (Upper Guide Link) has a small swivel joint (ball shaped) that only comes with the arm. Their average life span is 100K, so one replacement in 200K for the 3.0 applications, longer than most owners' ownership. In the large V8 they last approx 60K depending on driver and road conditions.
Unless your needs are such and you plan on HEAVY modifications, it works as designed.
The next question just for curiosity, Why would you want to? What performance, adjustment advantage are you seeking?
There was a company that made adjustable length units many years ago. Are they still around? Who knows. Use the search function on this site to find the postings.
