Heard that they are good untill the moment you crash them somewhere. The car is heavier though. These things are only for showing off in my opinion

There has to be screws to hold the two halves together because the are made of aluminum. The aluminum won't flex to snap them over the ball end so they have to make them in two halves that go around each side of the ball and have to be held together with the screws. Definitely would have to use some threadlock on those screws.

i guess both of u got good point n the stuff has it bad n good point too.my stock suspension did came off had to use plier n crimp to get the ball in. the new aluminum baja arm can be remove clean n install with threadlock..guss sooner or later the aluminium will wear off.the stock wont wear off that much

I would tend to agree with you there. A little bit of dirt between the steel ball end and the aluminum cup would probably wear it out quickly.

These nice and shiny aluminium upgrades are only for showing off. The worst with these things is that they are too expensive.

With plastic parts you don't afraid of anything. Run as tougher as you want. I can tell that they are better than these aluminium upgrades
