Mat, I went with Energy Suspension urethane control arm bushings, Moog #K5250 offset control arm shafts and standard Moog replacement ball joints.

Afco and ProForged make low friction extended upper ball joints. QA-1 has standard length low friction ball joints that can be serviced. -Al

Afco steel bushings and there low friction ball joints, the Afco tops can be ordered .5 longer.

Thanks for the help guys!

Are the replacement bushings roller bearing or something like that ? When you say steel bushings does this mean its steel to steel ,no bushing material ? The longer Ball joints are for reducing camber change? thanks

The global west bushings are aluminum and derlin I believe and the Afco's are solid steel with grease fittings.

What is the point of the longer ball joints?
