Yes?

Mate, take a little time to check your spelling and typing. It may be all the rage to take shortcuts when you're SMSing, but it really sucks on a forum like this. If your posts are difficult to read, people will ignore them.

Balljoint spacers (for the record...)

Your upper balljoint is mounted to the top your upper control arm, and protrudes down through a hole. The top of the steering knuckle then connects to this balljoint.

Some people move the upper balljoint to the underside of the upper control arm. This effectively move the control arm further from the bumpstop, allowing more droop travel. Adding a spacer between the balljoint and the arm opens the gap further, allowing even more droop travel.

Personally, I am very wary of this. With the original setup, if the bolts fail the balljoint is trapped in the hole in the control arm. Once you have "flipped" the balljoint, it is ONLY the bolts keeping the upper balljoint in place. If the bolts fail (for whatever reason) the upper balljoint will separate from the control arm, and the wheel is no longer controlled. This is major bad news, and it has happened.

Cheers,
