Does anyone have the PN for the screw in balljoints that will fit a Toyota spindle? Will the balljoints speedway carries fit (K772 MOOG)? And do they get enough travel, or are these the ones I hear horror stories about bingding before laid out, and binding at very little lift?

Or is there a screw in type out there that gets a lot fo travel? I can taper my spindle if need be.

I know Tim. I wanted to know other peoples opinions as well. I just need something that will get a lot of travel.

get some uniballs for extreme travel, not a huge fan of the screw in ball joints the boots never stay on right and dirt gets in them. i think a factory upper ball joint is the best way to go and if not i would get some uniballs for extreme travel. just my personal opinion

I am unaware of a long-travel screw in balljoint for lower arms, I do know that the Caprice ball joint is the same as an s 10 balljoint, but with more travel, though that won't help you will it?.

Don't know if that is what you are looking for, but I hope it helps. I have used a number of these before, good luck.

The speedway screw in ball joint is a great ball joint and needs to be used for the right purpose. They are not the ones you have heard horror stories about. If you want a "ball joint" that has more travel but screws into the same thread as the K772. Howe sells a high misalignment ball joint. It is a direct replacement. The K772 and the K727 Ball joint are Chrysler ball joints that you can buy at any auto parts store. You can also buy monoball joint kits that screw in to the same sleeve. The Howe precision ball joints are the best. I have the correct ball joint reamer for all these tapers. All you have to do is drill the Toyota spindle just a little. If you need me to drill your spindles I can arrange that.

Thanks Kyle. Basically what I'm looking for is a cleaner upper balljoint, that will allow me to get about 10 inches of lift. Will the Moog K772 work for this? Or should I just go for the Howe balljoint? They say that the 22320 is the same as the Moog K772 so that should work. Do the Howe balljoints break down? On there site it looks like they do, and you can buy replacement ball studs.
