Hi all last year I re bushed all new bearings and ball joints on my car and I used cheap front upper arms why I had blue print ones on order. Within less that a month 200 mile I chewed up the ball joints thought it was just because they were cheap so put on the blue print ones and recheck all nuts and bolts on car just incase. Another month went buy and a track day and the ball joints were no good bit odd. Ordered skunk 2 ones this time and again killed the ball joints. So now gone genuine and as I was putting them on yesterday noticed that the hole for the split pin was now were near the nut. So my thought are is my taped bit on the hub worn to big and that's why I am chewing through ball joints. Has anyone had this happen to them if so how did they sort it . thank scott
 
Same thing happened me mate new Complete hub sorted it, the UCA ball joint had worn the arm it sits onto
