Ball joints, SKF, uniballs, etc...much better genuine rubber

Post by Gabriel »

Hi,

Just to let you know of my personal experience: if you plan to use ball joints (SKF, Timken ,you name it...) for steering, traction arms, etc...just don't do it...unless you have a Dakar official Team budget!!!

Its worn veeeery quickly...after one competition you have to change every single ball joint, uniball, etc...and each one cost about 100 euros (about 150 aussy dollars...)...and I used to have 11 SKF ball joints and 8 uniballs in my comp truck...

So, now I used genuine Nissan rubber bushes and works great! No ply bushes, no nothing...just rear trail arm bushes, front and rear.

so, don't do my mistakes!
