Thanks!
Just the fact that they switched from a brass or other pliable metals to a thermosetting plastic. I enjoy rebuilding the old old balljoints where you can just replace a brass cup after 20 years of used.


I’m considering turning a shaft with a bigger ball and a brass insert with a weld on back plate. Then when it wears out a smidge you can tighten it up again after cleaning and greasing.
I abuse the suspension a lot. That’s why I go through parts like these more often then most.
