Question

time to refresh this one.
.. Looks like I am in need of balljoints as well. The shake in the wheel when I get up to speed.
I did think I had a bad rim.. but with the new wheels and tires it is more pronounced.

Anyone else?

This appears to be the answer: Cobra Valley's R/T Super High Performance Ball Joints

Before you jump in and replace the ball joints, take your wheels to a tire shop that uses the Hunter GSP9700 road force balancer and have your fronts done by a guy that knows what he's doing. Most front end vibrations are from out of balance or out of round wheels and tires.

I agree that Road Force balancing should be the first step. It must be done by someone knowledgeable with the machine and willing to take the time to get it right.

Then, if you still have the shake, RT ball joints are the way to go for all the reasons mentioned above.

Have fun and enjoy your car :-)

Default Ball Joints

Best thing I ever for my Superformance. You still have to get a good balance job for the tires and wheels. The old bubble balance worked best for me. This is the direct link to the Cobra Valley site ball joints.
