Hello again,
"Ces deux bielles latérales sont articulées chacune, à leur extrémité aval, sur le palonnier par exemple par des axes rotulés."
pivoting axes, swivelling axes, or should I use something else here?
Thank you

This is in English a spherical joint, ball-and-socket joint, implemented as a balll joint in mechanical devices

The most common type of ball joint has a shaft on it, but depending on the way they are mounted and to keep the English wording, you could use "pins/rods with ball joints"

swivelling pins
Axe is often used to refer to a pin, a rod or an axle.
Axis is just one translation for this word but this has rather a vectorial sense indicating direction.

: more likely to be a ball joint. These are quite common on jet engine mountings
