Perfect fit for my base 2003 Acura RSX

Decent build quality but once installed it cannot be oiled (no gap due to CV axis). Just keep this in mind before installing

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Useless features

Excellent! for spares

I love this brand! The ball joints fit perfectly, no problems. This isn't cheap stuff, I'll tell you that since installing my ball joint I haven't seen any sign of the product malfunctioning and haven't heard any suspicious noises.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Compatibility

Very easy to install with the right tools!

As long as the ball joint works as it should. Using Honda's PowerBuilt Ball Joint Adapter Kit and Astro Pneumatic Ball Joint Kit, it was very easy to install on Honda/Acura. I'll buy another one after seeing the stock ball joint wear out completely.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

They fit and work well, but they look and feel.

These ball joints require grease fittings but on my ep3 civic they did not fit with built in nipples. He kept hitting the CV axis. I had to plug the landing hole and do it. One of the ball joints lost its boot when I pushed it into the steering knuckle as well. Not impressed with the cheapness and the fact that the ball joint doesn't fit where it's intended.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not all will fit

Moog may not be as good as it used to be.

Well I bought them for a 2002 RSX Type S. It was easy to install but of course I had an issue with the Zerk connector hitting the ABS ring when the CV axle had to be put back on. I've heard that Moog has great parts, but since this is my second Moog part with bad gaps, I'm starting to wonder how good this company is. I tried to email them about this issue but of course no one has time to contact me. This part also looks like it will hold up.

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

A good product. Too bad Moog didn't take the gaps into account.

Seems to be a quality product but it is true that the angle oiler does not clean the ABS ring on the axle/axle of my 2002 Honda Civic Si. I found a workaround, but it's not very practical. I just used a standard straight grease fitting to plug the grease hole. Only this fitting cleans the axle. To lubricate the ball joint, remove the grease nipple with a 7mm wrench, then squeeze the grease into the ball joint, slightly changing the following parts: sleeve, needle tip. Place a snug nut on the…

Pros
  • nice thing
