Heavy Duty ball joints

Did a search and didn't turn up much. Is there any such thing as heavy duty ball joints. I got MOOG last time but didn't last too long. I do track the car, so maybe they could not take the stress.

you want MOOG ball joints out of a MOOG box not from a kit, for the uppers you want the top hat style, the lowers (I think) have a number stamped into them, Gary gtr1999 can tell you what to look for, mine lasted 36 vintage races (and probably more) but I sold my three cars

Moog Suspension components are top notch and should last a long time even if you race the car: Grease the upper and lower ball joints before every race session and they will last a long time......
