Yeah, their stuff is hit and miss. I bought a pair of their upper control arms (not the budget models) for a 55 Chevy car, and they were great. But both of the pre-installed ball joints had cracks in the grease boots. And my buddy had the exact same problem a few months later!



I think most of their their stuff comes from China, and their customers do the QA. I will say that Aaron at CPP sent us both new sets of ball joints, but I ended up using Moogs.

Buying CPP products from Summit Racing is the only way to go, because of their customer-friendly return policies.
