    I'm trying out those same ball joints. Let me know how they work for you. My previous was proforged brand, and they held up very well. Before that was moog, and they were shit.

    I bought a set of the TTX sway bar end links. Haven't tried them because I removed my sway bar and it might not be going back on.

    Unfortunately it didnt have a cup that fit to press out the ball joint, just hammered it out with a large punch, 6 or 7 blows and it came out. It did have the adapters to press it back in which was nice.

    so far so good, the zerk fitting that it came with wouldn't tap into the hole so I used the one off of the old Moog BJ.
    I hope these last.
