Is that a decent service life? I'm thinking that they were Lemforder, have
to look and see if I have records. Also need to decide if I want to just
replace the ball joints or go all the way with complete lower control arm
with new joints and new inner
Thanks Dan, good info!

I've been buying from the first on that list, parts hub, and they've been

Which websites have reports / reviews about these?
That's a neat story.
Reminds me of an older technology, which I have only heard about but I've
