    ball joint alternatives

    are there any? cuz Ive noticed that my OEM ones have all popped. so are there any other types I can put on my ride? I was think solid rubber ones. so they can never pop again.




    today I carried ten 60lb bags of cement in my car for a home improvement project. 1 infront of the drivers seat, 2 infront of the other seats, & 3 in the trunk. after I loaded them. there was only enough space to put my pinky in between the top of the tires & the wheel wells. so if I buy those grease filled OEM ones theyre just pop again.

    well honestly....

    just don't carry 600 lbs of extra weight in your car



    and replace the joints/arms with OEM parts

        I can't see how solid rubber would work.
        Ball joints are basically a ball and socket joint, like your shoulder, made of steel, Teflon lined.

        They aren't that expensive, either.

              New front lower ball joints are $15.70 each from honda automotive parts,
              nice and cheap, but only a little more than shipping. Moog makes high quality aftermarket replacement parts, everything I've ever seen by them looked serious.
