How do you know if the ball joints are starting to go.. sometimes when turning to the left i get a small judder on the steering wheel. At 1st it was the steering column knuckle hitting the downpipe but this has been fixed.

Anyone any idea? If they are goosed would the whiteline ones be a good replacement?

Thanks

hi m8 if you fit the whiteline balljoints you have to fit the new track rod ends as well. its a roll centre adjustment kit KCA313 then do an alignment to bring back into spec.
to check ball joint for wear jack up on chassis leg and grab wheel top and bottom of wheel and check for lift up and down if there is lift the balljoint is goosed if they are really bad you can get side to side play as well get somewone to do this check while you look at the balljoint also ch/side to side movment on track rod ends pm me if you want any info about whiteline m8

Anymore info on these parts for everyday driving?

Are the OE ball joints better for everyday or should I get teh Whiteline ones?

Going to do the front droplinks and front ARB at the same time so any feedback would be great!
