Stop buying cheap ball joints, and go OEM. MOOG is the only other brand I would trust.


Most of the time, OEM isn't much more.

waaa?? my buddy's autoX runs moog and he's never had an issue. IIRC, they've been on the car for 3 years, and he beats the piss out of it whenever he can...


What exactly is going on with the ball joints? How are they failing? I would highly suggest you look into replacing them with Honda parts.

if i knew how to post a pic with my phone i would do it lol. its about 2 1/2-3 inches lower than stock. the rubber cap looks like its been through a war and there is greese spatterd about and it gets real sloppy. it is also my daily, i avoid potholes when i can but the roads in upstate NY are shit

Get OEM. My car has been slammed for a year, and has been at it's current height for 2 years, (1 finger gap) and I've yet to loose a ball joint. Not to mention, they are the orginals from 98.
