I have just checked my car, looks like i probably have s shorter ball joint in there than is in the kit. Not sure if this makes any difference or not.

I do like to read the Schumacher threads despite me not having the car, anyway................................
When Losi brought out the new (shite) graphite with the small writing on the XX4 front towers, I broke off 2 front camber link mounts as I installed the ball end for the first time becasue I used a TI ball end that had a small shank and as that tightened it it opened up the hole and 'SNAP' off she broke.
Surely if you pop that bottom shock mount on and off a few times for setup/cleaning etc it's going to wear quickly? Wouldn't an eyelet like Losi/ AE etc be better?
