    they seem fine, definitely noisy though which is expected. I think one is out of balance, but I cant feel it when it’s on the back axle. No real complaints though.

    What size did you get?

    I was surprised, the 3RZ has a decent bit of gravity in it right. Made it hard to move my engine crane on aggregate concrete when I changed two of em out last summer.

    Drove it. Don't know why I didn't trim my pinch weld from touching my sliders 5 months ago. Peaceful. Silence. Also gives me more time to listen for my other, more expensive sounding sound.
    :annoyed:

    Read this vs trying to reinvent the wheel by arguing this. You'll have a more thorough understanding of the facts:

    Some of the people in this damn forum are so soft :rofl:

    @BartMaster1234 at 18 can get bashed for a week about restoring a welder and just go with it while we got grown ass men who can't handle a little discussion about why OEM ball joints are proven to be superior

    Such a :crapstorm: today, I had to make sure I was in the first gen section

    Worth it.

    I’ve used it a total of 30 seconds, but it sure is pretty to look at.

    Be careful saying OEM is better.
