Is the boot the only problem with the eBay ball joints? There should be a replacement boot somewhere!

 

no. The boot isn't the only problem.

If you read my post pertaining to the why mine failed, you will see.

The actual ball joint itself started to flop around and knock

 

Wish I would of seen this thread first, i ordered the eBay ones based off reviews on my350. Only a few people said they weren't the greatest, while majority have had no problems... Even some that track their Zs have had no problems. Oh well, i didnt want to spend much money as I'm probably selling the car real soon and need them replace because they're making a horrible knock. Pretty sure it's the ball joints... I hope.

 

What amazes me is that not a single company has put out an alternative to replacing this. A quality balljoint at a moderate price. There is literally thousands upon thousands of potential customers. Do they not see the money they could make???????????

 

moonface racing is the only other option. Which is still cheaper than buying new spindles.

 

Not everyone feels compelled to spend 500+ on just those ball joints. 250 is more reasonable IMO. But I guess you gotta pay to play. Im sure those moon ones could be easily sold at 250 making back their money.

 

Even more people wouldn't be compelled to spend $600+ on a set of spindles just because of some ball joints lol.

The reasoning behind moonface's price is import fees, exchange rate yen vs dollar, shipping, etc. Sure they can sell them for $250 but then they'll lose money in the end.

 

Ah didnt know they were made in Japan. Yea I understand the price now, sucks you would think SPL or Whiteline would make something by now.

 

SPL was developing something early last year but idk what happened from it...

But I would imagine it would be close to the same price.

 

Megan makes a set for the g35 for that price.

 

Megan are the same thing as the Chinese Ebay ones. Just with a Megan name, which coincidentally, all of their parts are made in China/Taiwan.

 

I wish energy suspension, spc or some good company made these at a reasonable price.

 

Has anyone found a better alternative than the e-bay or Megan ones?

 

I did ebay ones with energy suspension boots. So far so good.

 

Thanks for the message! How long have you had them on your car? I'm not really dropped, so maybe I will go with them. Also, could you provide a link for the Energy Suspension Boots. thanks!
