So went with the Moog lower ball joints, very happy, and pleased. My car feels so much better, as I figured. Plus that damn annoying sqeek is gone!!! Thanks all for your input!

Good for you, that's the only joint I'd put in my car, just make sure they're greased at every oil change as most quick lube guys are used to seeing cars with sealed joints. :teeth:

They are pressed in are they not?How the hell you get them out at home.Don't you have to take the lower control arm off?

Yes, they are pressed in, no you don't need to remove the arm, you can get them out with a ball joint press or a BFH, you will however need to use a ball joint press to install them. Again, be very careful when working with loaded coil springs, you MUST support the lower arm properly.

So now I had an unfortunate accident, and busted one of my struts, so now I'm going with Tonicko 5way Adjustables, and should have my MM Cast and Camber plates in hopefully by the end of the week. Only thing is I lack a vehicle until I fix mine, and I'll have to probably do most in my garage. And I have to pick up a Pony rim and get it sprayed to match the others. :crutch damn it feels like it never ends sometimes. Hopefully my car is fixxed so I can put it in storage. If anyone knows where I can find a Pony rim close to Newmarket area let me know.

I just picked up a set of the Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables for my Cobra. I have only installed the shocks so far, struts are this week. They have pretty much eliminated my wheel hop, it is so much nicer.

FYI..................Ford does make a set of FMS arms for the Fox body, huge bang for the bucks spent, low friction ball joints that make the steering feel velvetly smooooth along with improved bushings that not only improve handling but make a huge difference in ride quality..............had em in my Fox / have installed several sets in customers ride, all are pleased with em.

I need lower FCA's now. But it won't be until next summer, the car only has to last another month. I have new ball joints, so I'm more looking for a good lower control arm. It would be nice to go to coil-overs... but I don't really want to drop all that money.
