I got mine off eBay. Haven't had a chance to get on the highway yet. I had vibrations b/c my tires were choppy and I need and alignment. New tires will be here tomorrow and I'll be getting them put on this weekend along with new shoes and an alignment.

 

there are like 40 different brands on eBay...
which one did you order?

 

These are the ones I ordered. I wouldn't recommend getting these because, as you can see in the photo, the rubber boot also covers what I call the pressing flange, which is the part you put the force on to press the ball joint into the control arm or hub, whatever it's called in our cars. I was very afraid that I was going to tear this and all the grease come out so I was extra careful when pressing it in.

The good thing about these though is that they come with a 1 year warranty.

hello - i have a quick /strange question! i called megan racing!-& there saying that they dont have a lower ball joint for the front ('03 G coupe) just the center adjuster! can this part be used for the lower ball joint (the center adjuster-?- thank you

 

The roll center adjusters Megan sells are the replacements for the lower ball joints. They are just designed differently so the return the steering angle to the correct position on lowered cars. If you aren't dropped, these are overkill since they're over $200/pair.

FWIW I'm having mine installed tomorrow, yeah!!

 

Where else can i get ball joints aside from CZP?
I know dealer and fleabay, just seeing what else is out there. Not lowered yet but intend to do a mild drop in the near future

 

autozone or advanced auto carries one

 

I replaced mine with the megans, im lowered. having an issue with right side, the nut that connects the balljoint to the lower control arm continues to come loose. This is causing the nut to tear into the lower control arm. Not sure if there is a problem with the balljoint seat. Anyone else having an issue?

 

Both of my ball joints need to be replaced as well; I checked out RockAuto and they have two from BeckArnley and Deeza. Has anyone used any of these?

 

I would also like to know if anyone has used these.. $45 (Deeza - have 2 year warranty) and $60 (Beck) ..

Not sure if I really like the metal ring clips that hold on the boots.. It just looks cheap.. thoughts?

Has anyone used the CZP ball joints?

 

I ordered two Deeza from RockAuto and should be here tomorrow hopefully. I'll let you know my thoughts on them.

 

I got my Deeza ball joints today and they look pretty solid, but they don't have castle nuts or cotter pins. Here are some pics I plan on trying to install them this weekend.

 

So I just pressed on one of the Deeza ball joints. The Deeza is not flexible at all like the OEM ones.

I used a 22 mm socket, ratchet, 22 in breaker, and the press from advance auto. Took about 5 minutes to do.

Does anyone know if any of the other ball joints are as movable as OEM?

Oh yea Deeza nut is larger than OEM had to use 15/16 to get it on 22/23 mm was to small.

 

moveable as in loose? i would think loose is worse

 

Why not just reuse OEM nut? What do you mean by loose?
