adjustable upper ball joints

locobrutus · May 24, 2016

To those who have the adjustable ball joints which ones do you have. All comments good and bad would be appreciated. Sense there is such a wide range of prices. Thanks

There are only two companies that make an adjustable ball joint for our trucks...

SPC 23940 & Moog K100115

I purchased the Moog but have not installed it yet, when i do my 3/5 drop then I'll install it and write a review.

Thanks for the reply.I was planning on buy the SPC ball joints. Found them online for $86 . I have a 2/4 drop and have already maxed out all of the adjustment for camber and caster. Looking to do this very soon.

When I first had my drop installed and got the alignment done they told me the same thing. Other people have said that they have gotten their alignment done with out issues. Kinda weird IMO.

I had the Moog ball joints.

They worked to correct my camber problems when the truck was sitting still, BUT they push the upper control arm even further up, meaning the camber gain when the suspension is compressed is even higher. I ended up removing them because they were so problematic.

wow good to know about the moog...what are your thoughts of the spc ball joint.
The spc only has a max of 2 deg positive camber, the moog has 3 deg positive camber.

I haven't used it, so I can't really say.

If it's taller than the factory ball joint you'll have the same problems as the Moog though.

Dubstep Shep: how were the Moog adj ball joints problematic? Bad ride, steering pulling one way r the other r just breaking. Beginning to wonder if it is worth the hassle of changing the ball joints. Might be easier to replace tires

I ordered the SPC adjustable ball joint as well, I think I'll be going that route. Once I get the spc I'll compare it to the moog

Hmm guess ill get the spc then. i did the belltech 964 kit cut down to 3 5.5 aligned it 3 days after to install to allow for settling. the front camber was right a -1 so the 2 degrees of the spc will be more than enough. actually the -1* isn't really even that bad i ran just a bit more negative in my vette, but of course here im not truly looking for best handling just nice even tire wear.

Any word? I am getting ready to order all my suspension and am trying to decide between the SPC or the Moog.

Thanks

Sorry I haven't had time to cut springs to 3/5 or install adjustable ball joint...
