Performance Ball Joints, Links?

b.18tuner5875 · 09-09-2009, 12:24 PM

Well my rear suspension is shot on my 91 turbo, so I was wondering if there is such a thing as performance stab links, ball joints, etc. or is there a quality brand out there that does the job. I will eventually be running megan coilovers all around, and want the rest of the parts to hold up to the job

Dude, Megan Coilovers? Your car...but you'd be better off saving for a better coilover or at least running some Konis and springs of your choice. That is if comfort and dampening level mean anything to you. If it's just for slamming your car, go for it (Although I have friends who've had mixed reliability impressions on them such as the housing leaking oil from regular driving in a relatively short span of time).

Anyway, ball joints, I don't know. Outer tie rods and roll center adjusters, Techno Toy Tuning. Endlinks, KSport (adjustable) and High & Tight (Which they don't recommend to be used with the Megan Racing coilovers). MCS makes adjustable control arms.

Dude, just go with the Konis and springs of choice. The rear end shimmy your car has is also something to look into. OEM balljoints and tie rods are fine for your car. Also, go with a new set of bushings. Also, a huge investment you have to make is those wheels. They're dangerously thin.

I was just suggesting megan since a few local toyota guys I know use them and are satisfied

The shimmy Is just my bad suspension

Are you looking for roll center adjustment?

OE ball joints work great, as do these

For balljoints, use OEM toyota balljoints

well I got a set of moot balljoints which I've heard are pretty top quality. Once I have money I will consider those coilovers baktasht.
