Default 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......

Problem Solver - Powdered Metal Gusher Bearing For Better Lubrication

MOOG® Problem Solver® products incorporate proven design and engineering features for like-new suspension, ease of installation and longer life. MOOG is the preferred steering and suspension parts brand of professional technicians and NASCAR Crew Chiefs.
  • Powdered metal gusher bearing design enables grease to flow through bearing to stud for reduced friction and enhanced strength
  • Engineered steel composition results in a stronger component
  • Full ball metal stud provides 360° of smooth rotational movement for more responsive steering
  • Greaseable socket reduces corrosion and wear by allowing new lubricant to flush contaminants
  • Loose or worn chassis parts can lead to premature tire wear

Probably just low friction circle track pieces. Other manufacturers make them. Think some are rebuildable.
