Uprated Ball Joints?

[DaveDreads]

Gonna be changing mine soon and just wondered if there are
aftermarket/uprated ones I can get, or is it only standard?

Also same quetion with track-rod ends?

Sorry if it's a stupid question but i'm a photographer not a
spanner monkey

I'm not sure if there is such thing as aftermarket ones, tbh.

Standard are perfectly adequate, though.

When you change them, compare the stiffness of the new ones to the old and you'll see why.

Ive been looking on the net but could'nt find any,
thought i'd ask, it was an advisery on my MOT so need them changing although the
car feels fine, but I guess I can't compare untill ive fitted new ones.

i bought a couple last weekend, went to eurocarparts and they had two, a unbranded one and some Lemförder one's, so got the Lemförder, not sure if they are uprated or anything, but just having a brand name seemed better. were £7 more though

i thought i heard the sports didn't have them separate from the arms though? could be wrong as i don't really know anything though

Lemforder make the OEM ones for Peugeot and Citroen and I’d bet for Renault, too.

ah kwl, did a search and saw they did OEM for jag and a few other places like that, so thought they'd be good, plus sounds German, so always a gd sign
