ive broken neither but just fully rebuilt the steering knuckles etc yesterday. i also replaced the king pin bearings while i was at it considering it was already apart. could of reused them but they had a few scuff. the marks are from general wear and of no concern but now i have nice shiny ones (until i packed them anyway).

it was cheaper to replace my complete drag link with the snake racing thick wall item than renew factory link with oem ball joints. happy with the new drag link too.
