I have been advised to use these on my car before.

The Owens ones look excellent. What is the best way to sort the angle of the top ball joints when they are fitted? How do the racers do it? My car isn't stupidly low as it's used on the road but don't want to risk the top joint snapping out!

if it aint lowered them you dont need them.

 

and you cant adjust the top ones.

Thanks for the reply.
My car has about 1 inch from top of tyre to arch, so is lowered from standard.
I am changing the entire front hub assembly over the winter so unless told otherwise I will just keep running it as it is then.
I am only running it low as I like the look of it better than the 4x4 look!

As long as they are fitted on the lower joint and Neg camber is dialed in, they shouldn't break the top joint but you will need to pack up the rebound stop a fair bit to prevent breaking the lower one.

 

Thoroughly check after fitting and with the rubber cone / spring removed through all suspension movements and with the ball joint dust covers removed so you can see what's going on with them. If you have rubber or poly in the suspension, also allow for movement and / or failure of these too.
