 This appears to be a rubber boot/cover for the rod end
 not a vibration damping rod end. Am I mistaken?

What are these for?  Are you thinking of using these for
the rod and socket  engine mounts?

 Rear motor mount is a strut with rubber isolated rod ends.

 It can go up to a bracket on the firewall or down to a nose
 gear if there is one.

 I called the company and got a woman in sales.
 She never heard of it. She just kept asking me my name
 over and over like that made a difference.

 She kept telling me they don't make it.

 Wrong person in the job. The search engine on their
 web site sucks.

 I finally went back to google and used the word "isolated".

 Magic word.

 Here it is part number MFIR-8 made in right hand and
 left hand. Allows adjusting the pitch angle for best top
 speed and lowest drag. They have LH and RH threaded rods too.

To answer your question Mark the answer is no. These rubber iso rods
ends have limited angular applications. The universal motor
mount requires Teflon rod ends with plus or minus 35 degrees.
