Lower Ball Joints

[tdw6974]

Pulled front suspension apart after the Glen. Found lower ball joints should be replaced. Got a pair of Moog Joints and they appear to be beefier construction than the stock ones. Anyone used these for replacemnt?

I have not any luck with anything but Mazda ball joints. The aftermarket joints haev not work as well on the race car. If you use them you might want to put a spot weld on it to keep it from coming out of the control arm.

I have had the moog ball joints come loose while racing...
On the next set I put 3 tack welds in the top side of the control arm... no problems since.
