Anyone have a preference on balljoints for a d30? Since I'm going to be swapping shafts / bearings I might as well change out my 200k balljoints while I'm there.

I went with Synergy HD Ball Joints. They are a tad more but worth it IMO.

Welp, Found spicer ball joints for $41 a side on amazon. Everywhere else has been $63. Alloy USA joints are at $149. Think I'm just gonna go with the spicers and save the expensive/fancy joints for another day.

Best $100 spent ever.

Takes lug nuts off in seconds

Got the cj oil pan of in 10mins

And it was able to break the rust seal on a XJ front leaf spring bolt

Way more power than my air impact.

Doesn't mean I am capable of doing it. Going to try to do the APN header and down pipe at the same time.
