Crappy ball joints

Poor quality ball joints, only lasted 5000 miles. The bushings are not plastic, but rubber and creak when wet. Very annoying. I ended up throwing them away and used OEM.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some flaws

but it wasn't fun to put in and it won't be fun to replace again

After only 1 month of limited winter driving, the ball joint boot cracks. Lifetime warranty, sure, but it wasn't fun to install and it won't be fun to replace again. Not to mention the cost of hosting. I had to go to NAPA.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Dented

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Useless features
