What would you guys do? Go with a set of Oem ones for 44$ canadian or a set of Trw's for 66$ canadian with a lifetime warrenty. I dont see any reason to spend an extra 22$ do they wear out that fast?

Thanks

depends on your road conditions. the lower ball joint is the first structurally supporting part of the car that takes the hit when you hit a pothole or bump or whatever, so usually they go before anything else, but as long as your not plowing snow with your stang, you should get a good 5-8 years out of them.

not me though, stupid massachusetts roads. BIG DIG FTL!

So go with the oems?

mattdel

yah. no need for more expense with something so elementary as a ball joint.

if you ever lower it, you will need special ones, but until then, OEM is A-OK.

no reason to fork out extra cash for non-OEM. If the OEMs gave you good life, stick with them. That's weird though, normally OEM costs more than the aftermarket. Or at least the same.

I just got some OEMs from ebay for like $30 a pair USD,no idea what itd be in Canadian. Do a search for 'Ford ball Joints' and you should find them. Dang them buggers are heavy, thought i got a brick in the mail lol.

mattdel

hahaha, i guess i'm just used to them. they aren't heavy to me anymore, after doing some on a F-450, these are tiny.

At least you know they are 'solid' [8D]

My car is lowered, but I plan on buying some differnt springs down the road becausea 2inch dropis too low for my taste. Special ones?

Not sure about ball joints on lowered Stangs but you will offset rack bushings.
