Hi guys,
due to an hard bump coming from the front suspension probably i'll have to replace the front arms ball joints.
I saw that there are two different kits, one with bronze bushing and one with plastic bushing: the second one is cheaper but is it good anyway or not?

First check if your centrol arms are rebuildable, recently one of my balljoints snaped, because i had the front too low and didnt have geometry connecting pins, i bought a rebuild kit, and then i found out that my control arm balljoints were not rebuildable, i had somekind of aftermarket controll arms with compressed joints, had to buy two new control arms, btw my car is 89 turbo...
