if anybody wants to keep a pair around as spares and such... price is $55 shipped for a pair. let me know. i'm ordering a few sets for customers.

 

Frank,
I am in for one pair. Let me know where to send the check/Paypal/etc. Thanks.

 

Are they so prone to breaking/excessive wear that they need replacing that often? At least they aren't terribly expensive.

 

the new ones are dark grey and it friction welded or something; no more C clip. so it is pretty much impossible for the BJ to be seperated from the plate.

 

So, does that mean we get the balljoint & the plate? If not, will this balljoint be able to press into the c-clip style?

 

yah it's just 1 piece... just pop the old BJ off the knuckle, unscrew the sliding place and reinstall the new one.

 

the previous ones had issues, i think with the C clip not being tight enough fit between the BJ and the plate and some ppl had the C clip braking causing the BJ to be seperate from the plate. the new ones solve this prob. not all of the old ones will break, some did...

right now i'm ordering a handful of sets... i'll wait another couple days and see if anybody else needs 'em.

 

Cool. I will check my spare set when I get home in the morning. I will email you directly with my order then.
Thanks.

 

Good to hear that these ball joints are available separately.
When is the deadline for this?

 

I'm in bad need for a set and local to the Bay Area. Is there any way that I could pay you in person or leave the money with one of your sponsoring shops (I'm very wary of online transactions i.e. Paypal )? I visit R.Crew a lot...

 

ok guys i'm away for the weekend but i'll order 'em on monday. just drop me an email if you want a set... i'll checkback soon.

makibaka: yes you can give Dan the money at R.Crew.

 

ok the guys that ordered i'll be getting 'em out tomorrow.

 

Frank,
I sent you an email but never heard back. Did you get my set?

 

yah mike. btw, do you know how i can get a hold of tom lepper?

 

i might be interested in a set...i'll let you know.

 

I tore the boot off my right Skunk2 UCA, so I don't need the whole ball joint. Do you sell just the boot, or do you know if I can use the OEM boot over the Skunk2? TIA

From what the people at skunk2 told me (and i experienced) is if you bottom out the suspension (to soft or hit tall burms) you put more stress on the ball joint that it was designed for. What happens after enough stress load you wind up pushing the ball joint past the c-clip and out of the adjustment plate (you will have some funny handling then, I lost one at T-hill).
They re-designed it and now its a one piece. A definite set in the right direction. I had already replaced the one that blew out and have my spare replacement ready (thank you Frank). To this date ( I think the new ones have been on for 5 months and about 10 - 11 track days) I have not had a problem with with the new one.


Mike - when we looked at your camber kit back at sears they had stared to work themselves out, did you replace them before the 25?

Nope. No issues. Working fine still.

I belive they will go +1 to -3 of adjustment.
