Default Ball Joints?

Hi All

I need a pair of ball joints and have seen these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I was wondering if anyone has used anything similar or just gone straight to dealers or to the likes of RCM?

Thanks
Andy

I would personally get OEM, i was reading the otherday that some cheap ones don't last.

Thanks
Sam

If you are replacing your ball joints, might want to consider a performance upgrade while you are at it with Whiteline's Roll Center Adjustment Kit. Less body roll, more front end traction and less bump steer. Plus the boots and grease are high temp so you won't have to worry about melting them on lapping days.

i was very impressed with them after installing them on my car. even with stock suspension. Made a noticeable difference out of the box. I figure, if you are replacing the part anyway for maintenance, why not upgrade the performance while you are at it? Plus, its an easy sell to missus, GF, parents, as its a maintenance item!

You should be able to get them from anyone who carries Whiteline parts.
