Review on TRW Automotive JBJ653 Premium Joint by Jim Bethea

I can't say enough good things about these joints. I had previously installed Moog hinges and removed them after 2 months of use. There is a common problem with ball joints on the market that makes steering stiff; not so with these. I used them on my 1970 VW Beetle and they worked great. The steering wasn't tight and they were easy to install, and they had alignment notches that made installation easier. If you are looking to replace the ball joints on your VW I would highly recommend them.
