I bought these for my 2010 Ford Escape. ORIGINAL ball joints removed and new ones installed. The installation went quickly and smoothly. I took her on purpose for the oil can. Unfortunately they only lasted 2 weeks and the snap rings broke :(. California highways are flat; they shouldn't have snapped. Now I need to replace the lower arms because the ball joints move without the snap rings. (At the bottom of the picture you can see the see gap where they were once tightly pressed.)
