#15149, "SPC adjustable front upper ball joints"




          

anyone try these? They're quite a bit cheaper than buying a stock ball joint and you get the added benefit of adjustability. Any one hear anything good/bad about these??

heard good about them, there was a post about 6 months ago about this and the other versions of camber correction that SPC sells.

I thought they sell like 2 different kinds one was better for some applications vs the other type. I have forgotten the difference though.

If you are lowered, then the balljoint is not optimal for you. The ball joint eats up precious travel that the 2G lacks in the first place. I know somebody on a stock suspension who bottomed his suspension out, demolished a tyre, destroyed the SPC ball joint, and the A arm on that side. Stick with the camber kits that adjust the A arm mounting anchor bolts. This looks like another product that looked really good on paper, but when transferred to the real world, was not extensively tested. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with most of Specialty Product's, uh, well, products.

Im not too concerned with the camber adjustment i just need a ball joint and these are half the price of one from the dealer. Can you explain how a ball joint can eat up suspension travel?

I'd really like to know this too. I have a hard time trusting people to do the right thing especially SATAN. All the shitty attitudes and bullshit stories I got last time I was there I really don't trust them. They'll probably turn my camber kits just to fuck with me.

So to stay out of jail and have good ball joints, would these be a good replacment?
