Well i need new ball joints already at 35 hrs and want to get some really good ones so i dont have to change them constantly.
Thanks for any help.

Don't know of any good ones, but a good hint to make your stockers last longer is get a needle grease fitting and put a few pumps in the boot of the ball joints.

I just put a set of EPIs in the SRA.

That sounds like a good idea GE4x4, I will do that and probably get EPIs to replace them with.

Ok what are EPIs in the SRA and how do you put a needle grease fitting in the ball joint?

sorry just got my first txt mesging phone so the abbreviations are not familiar to me

You get a needle for your grease gun and poke it through the rubber boot. Just like you would get a shot through your skin.

Well I finally got the outlaw out of the trailer. It had been in there since the last race 2 weeks ago. I soon realised I had bent a tie rod and the center link was trashed. This was the 3rd race for the EPI ball joints and they were tight! The stock ones would never have lasted this long with the trees I had caught.

good to hear that i will be ordering EPI ones soon, but i need to figure out the problem i am having with it running first.

If they are bad, beat them out with a Hammer. You're not going to hurt them.
