Thanks for the responses, public and private.


I'll start looking/considering my options.


The uppers are easy, it's the lowers that I don't want to keep changing, but I don't consider it that difficult if I have to.


I heard that Lemforder quality has dropped since production has moved to China and I see that T3 has no stock at this time. Coincidence?

I have a Syncro and have purchased replacement ball joints.  For the life of me I can’t remember the brand, but they are sitting in a box at home on GA. I’m currently roaming Arkansas.
There has been much research posted and recorded on the matter . Basically any ball joint that is solid metal will perform well. There are lots of imposters out there. t3 Technique recommends Lemförder. If you can wait I can tell you the brand I purchased based on advice I found.


Chris.
