Just a heads up that they have gone to no longer available. There maybe a few odds and ends out there. Lots of other ones out there of unknown origin.

CHECK with seller IF they say they have them BEFORE ordering. Lots of listings for parts they offer for sale but NOT in Stock.

@Literati914

Lots more to ball joint design than that.

I don't know the specifics of Lemforder specs's but consider these:

Articulation angles need to be accomodated
The ball joint liner material has a huge impact on joint friction, noise, and life
Ball size vs. loads
Roll forming the end cap on to have approprate pre-load on the ball joint
Heat treat
Ball plated vs. polished
Ball roundness
Durability & life cycle prove out. Really bad things happen when tie rods aren't connected to knuckles.

I've never done ball joint design from scratch but worked with those that have. I don't want that job!

Seems like a simple purchased commodity but they aren't.
