1991 lx - stock a arms - i'm replacing the ball joints when i am installing the 1998 sn95 spindles this weekend. which are the best ones to use?
sn95?
original 1991?
other?
car is strictly road race. a arm bushings are maximum motorsports delrin.
The
BEST ball joints are simple - Either
o **FORD** sn95
or
o The NEW **FORD** Fox ball joints that do NOT have the grease fitting. (the ones that are used on the FRPP Fox FCAs)
Both are the BEST ball joints you can get. Both are low friction and after ~200K miles of use, show "no signs of wear" (hence, the elimination of the zerk fitting and the wear indicator).
Note: The X2 ball joints are the OLD style ball joints and have more friction and faster wear.
If you go with a Fox ball joint, you will *need* a spacer. Many people use this:

If you want, use 2 one each spindle. One IS fine, but it is "close" to running out of threads. So, if you want, use 2 on each spindle and don't worry, bitch, or start another worthless thread about the difference between that spacer width and the one that comes with the FRPP M2300K kit.
Many people, including me, have bought stuff from Breeze. They often ship in a few days.
