Robert Saiz –
No complaints very nice ball joint. Price is very reasonable espically when it comes to customizing your car. I Received my order quickly… I ordered these ball joints for my 1985 cutlass and there doing exactly what I was looking for. For looks they are a clean almost polish type finish. Installation is very simple. For strength and durability so far so good I guess time and use will depend on that… but compared to the previous ball joints I had in the car… these have a solid build to them. Defiantly would recommend to the next guy or gal. I plan on keeping my business with Southside Machine Performance Thanks Again.
