earlier Superformance models problems?

Steve,

Right after I dropped it in I snapped a balljoint necessitating the front end rebuild. Still waiting to align the suspension so can't answer your question yet.

So to the OP. Yeah, replace the balljoints. You will have to weld in new sockets. And you can paint your control arms up nice nice.

Really like the silver coating and the perfect fairing at the joints you did!

Thanks Steve. Its the same silver paint we use at work for our commercial truck bumpers.

The balljoint separated - basically the ball pulled out of the socket. I thought I had a pic but nope. Good thing it happened a month after it was on track at Willow Springs.

Definitely a butt puckering moment and luckily it happened about 100 yards from my driveway at super slow speeds. Strangely, I had the new but uninstalled balljoint and socket kit in my pile of parts.
