I thought I saw a link to this yesterday on here, but when I looked today could find nothing.

I'm not sure if these are new to market or something that has been around for ages and It's just me that has never seen them before.

Apparently, these ball joints are pre-loaded and require no shims. They're not cheap at around £44 plus postage from Japan, (if that's for one). Which it looks like it is.

I changed four ball joints last week, using two extra packs of shims. The shims were all different sizes and one ball joint went on and off a dozen times and is now fitted albeit a bit floppy.

That day I would gladly have coughed up £175 for four ball joints that just bolted on.

Anyway, does anybody have any experience of these please?
