Not Impressed with Suspension Upgrade

Based on my experience with this Automotive suspension upgrade, i cannot recommend it. While it did improve the handling of my vehicle on the road, the noise it created was unbearable... Every bump or pothole resulted in a loud clunking sound that made it impossible to enjoy the ride. Overall, I was disappointed with this purchase..

Pros
  • Strong and durable construction
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other similar products

No hard steering! in parts

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.

Pros
  • Low-friction design restores original performance to steering and suspension systems
Cons
  • Secret
