Default Rebuilt Control Arms?

The boots are torn on my 86 ball joints. I know several places offer rebuild kits and/or rebuilt arms -- rennbay, 944online, etc. Has anyone personally had one of these rebuilt units fail on their street car?

I think there was people who ordered the regular ball joint rebuild kit and tracked their cars and were going through rebuilds until rennbay offered the track kit with the bronze bushings

mine were rebuilt from before as well, as long as you rebuild before they are to worn down its ok, if damage around the joint, CHANGE.

I've used the Rennbay track kit on the track! Crazy, I know.

No problems street or track.

Tom, www.ssiauto.com and they will rebuild them for you and ship back for like $246. That includes removing the old bushings and sleeve so you can put back Welts or RE or ??? when you get them back. You can check the box "Have SSI rebuild them for you". Scribe you a camber mark and mark the castor on you blocks and you're very close to the alignment also.

Hey Tom,

I have a Rennbay track/performance ball joint kit I picked up from Magowan that I was going top post for sale this week if you're interested.

I ordered a set of Rennbay rebuilt control arms w/ the track kit and then sent my old control arms as a core. They are perfect and travis is excellent to deal with.
