    That only happens when you start bouncing the ride off the ground or hang one of the front tires in the air......when you use it in that application,everything is subject to breakage.............
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

    I remmber reading that s10 strongarms specifically have a problem with the ball joints... I don't remember the details, but it was a problem that happened with more than one installation. I can't vouch for those people and say that they were or were not operating their system aggresively.

    I have researched these arms on chevy talk ,and else where . I was comparing the to the arms that Classic Performance Products makes and was surprised by the response I got. First off I will say that Chevy talk is sponsored by CPP so all other competitors get deleted and CPP parts get pushed. A guy PMed me and said I would not have any luck asking my question there. He gave me a link to another forum that is mainly about lowered chevy trucks. There was nothing but bad to say about CPP a arms. The were also photos from different members showing CPP lack of quality control. Most were issues where the upper ball joints did not fit in the arm and CPP's fix was dont send it back just mount the ball joint under the arm problem solved ,ya right There is a tech from CPP on the forum and when he said they do business a certain way and I told him from experience with CPP they did not , or did not at that time, it got deleted.

    Air ride technologies ,from what I have read and seen photos of , do sell a better Quality part. I will by mine from ART!!!

    Moral of the story don't by something just because some one says its the best. Do your research!
