Question Ball Joint questions

Pretty sure my ball joints are going so I'm looking to get the SuperPro Roll Control Roll Center kit. From what I've read they're supposed to be better quality than the Whitelines is this true?

Also I'm still on the stock suspension and stock height. I'm planning to do coilovers later this year or early next. With the taller tie rod ends and different ball joints that come with the kit will this cause any issues?

I'm hoping to buy these today or tomorrow so any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the whiteline kit. 1 year later the boots are cracking.

You should be fine. Get it aligned

Either kit is fine.


Whiteline sells replacement boots for like $25 IIRC.

Either will work. I would not buy new boots. So they last a year? Im not complaining about it. Ill wait till the ball joints fall apart again and then buy a different brand and give them a try.

Idk how long they last. Mine are 3 years old now with 30k miles on them. Replaced the boots last year.

The key is to replace the boots before they fail and let contaminants in to ruin the balljoint.
