Which ball joints??
Hey everyone,
I think I am in need of new ball joints for the front end of my 86.... which ones are the best?
I have seen the Ecklers front end set for ~$200 from memory. Are there any other sets anyone would recommend?
Thank you.
Chris

I bought mine from midamericamotors.com last year still pretty good no problem and vibration at all even at 110 mph speed.
Already drove 6-8k mile on it still no signs of wear.
I bought as a set lower and upper ball joint for both L & Right could not remember the price but it was a deal as set and was cheaper than Last detail, Atlanta, Ga.

There's Moog and everything else. Nascar teams use Moog over the counter stock replacements if that tells you anything.

Oreilly auto parts does. Good price as far as I could tell when I bought mine. They will also loan you the tool to remove and install.
