Comments about Driveworks Suspension Ball Joint:
This product is very cheap and will end up costing you more money in the long run. Spend the extra to get the one that will last. I bought this and installed it and 18 months later it failed. Costing me more in damages. This product can't be from the U.S. its very cheap.

Comments about Driveworks Suspension Ball Joint:
bought this part to get rid of a vibration problem in the front end of the car. It was easy to install. I did need the ball joint press tool. I rented it from the store. Simply pressed the old one out and pressed the new one in. worked like a charm. the front end is tight now and no vibration.

Replaced both my right and left ball joint with this part. It fit. That is the only good thing, because it failed with less than 2 miles on it. Thus had to replace it again. Buy the moog... Do not waste your time as I did.
