Default Re: Ball Joints popping off...

Tamiya ball cups are standard on all of 04 series. They do wear out specially if you pop them in and out often. Try using captured ball. But they may cause you more damage than using ordinary cups if you hit frequently and hard.

04r drivers, do you notice this: the joint held by the ball connectors (e.g. Camber links, toe, steering, etc.etc.) have a tendency to pop-out even with slight knocks! Any ideas how to keep 'em in?

Also today my front ball diff kept on tightening itself. I rebuilt it, and put locktite on it. Doesn't seem to help, but gimme tommorrow evening to strip thje whole car down to find out what's wrong.
