Ball joint at a good price.

The advertised item appears to be of good quality. I had to enlarge the bolt holes in the lower control arm to fit the supplied bolts. I would buy again.

  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poor instructions

True Fit & Alignment

Everything was in the box, simple installment plan. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU FIND AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BOX SO YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Without version

Perfect fit and quick repair

Fits my Chevy Equinox. Luckily the original ball joint had previously been replaced so it was a quick swap. Otherwise I would have to grind the original screws. Saved a lot of money by simply swapping out the ball joint instead of the whole arm.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Use the right tools!

Well after opening the boxes and only finding one package with hardware I got a bit frustrated, had to start a return and wanted to wait for the hardware for another ball joint but just went to my local hardware Store and get the parts. Installation is pretty easy with the right tools. I used an air chisel cutter and cut an "X" on the bottom of the rivets and the air chisel removed the rivets instantly, used a sharpened air chisel on the cut rivets and they popped right out of the holes. With a

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No

"Easy Installation " = below the standard installation.

I don't care about the feature that makes installation easier. In the instructions, you drill a larger control arm rivet hole than the OEM. Then the ball joint itself has significantly larger holes than the supplied screws. I'm assuming you didn't drill the larger holes in the middle of the smaller original holes. So the end result is a sloppy fit, making it pretty pointless to replace an old ball joint that was sloppy. I used a smaller drill and then plugged the sloppy holes in the ball joints

Pros
  • Lots of fun
Cons
  • Available in white only
