Message	They came on the car when I bought it and the ball joints were shot. Noisy as hell with pretty bad wheel shake. Charles was kind enough to send me replacement joints free of charge even though I wasn't the original buyer. I still had to go through the hassle of swapping them out. 6 months later they are starting to get noisy again. I had ES bushings in my last Z and never had any problems despite their bad rap. What do you guys use? Please don't say contact Charles either. I went that route the first time and I'm back where I started. Charles is a nice guy but IMHO his products are cheap knock off crap. The service of SZ with the quality of megan.
