so i tried researching on different brands of types of extended ball joints for the front knuckles/spindles, from J's racing, Buddy Club, Blox, and Hardrace, so after asking around, folks said they are all the same. so this time i sorta went cheapo with BLOX. :smackself: well i woulda went with hardrace like i did with the rest of the stuff however its on backorder from hardrace, weak.....
so yea, a quick trip to the local brake shop, and with a quick turn around. BAM! they are installed. this can be done yourself but its a b****, lol.
The OE bushings in the rear trailing arms are pretty weak. previous owner said he replaced them too, i believe him cause they look pretty new, however he was slammed. With that said... and i talked about this with another member (Craig-toycivic), you're supposed the clock the hard bushings slightly 10 degrees depending on what side. and it makes sense if your car is lowered... especially slammed. but if folks go with the spherical bearing... no worries at all. on a side note, i sorta liked this new brake shop, so im going again tomorrow to drop off the rear trailing arms to have the bushings replaced.
