      Ball joints

      I orderd a set of SCC adjustable UCA today, these come with no Ball Joints, what manufacturer would you guys suggest for new Ball Joints, currently I'm running Global west UCA with Delalum bushing, when removed I will be posting in the for sale section.

      I would run a tall Howe ball joint. Call Mark and he can set you up. If your looking for a stock ball joint I would use MOOG

      x2 on the Howe ball joints. One other question, have you performed the G-mod?

      Stock Balljoint will drop in.
      I like Moog, but it seems that pretty much everyone has gone to Chinese production in the last few years

      Moog has even sent a fair amount of their stuff offshore. NAPA's premium line is made by Spicer. They are also decent.

      I would buy the Howe BJs if I could afford them. I cant so I bought the Moog.

      And Napa is always a route to go for quality parts. You pay more than the kragen (Checker, Schuck's, & Kragen) or pepboys or whatever mainstream parts house is local. But napa still has stayed to the thought that the customer will pay for a quality part. I hate to see the day that napa goes the route of all the other local parts dealers. JR

      The howe tall bj's are the way to go if you already have the upper arms. For the geometry change its well worth it. If you cant afford the howes, then check out the power performance bj's. You wont regreat it after its all said and done.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I have always been partual to Moog, it was who we used to use exclusively at Guldstrands.
