I’m on the fence with them and the new teraflex units.

Being able to rebuild them in place is the only way to go.

Yes, that was the biggest factor in choosing the Dynatrac ones. Rebuild kits are under $150. There are ones that you can adjust for wear, but eventually you'll have to press them out again when they fail. The Dynatracs are sold everywhere for $629/set. Find a place that will cut 10%, wont tax and offers free delivery. (approx. $560 end cost)

Ordered both the Dynatrac Ball Joints and Reed Knuckles today!
I received the RPM steering components today, but still waiting on the RCVs.
Like you said, its best to do it all together when its apart.

@Headbarcode has a way of getting you to want to spend more money.

Anything will be an improvement over the stock ones with plastic bushings! lol

Yup, and eventually you’ll have to replace the knuckles again if you’re pressing ball joints in and out.

The inner C?......Just the hassle of removing everything to get to the ball joints.​

Adjustability requires more moving parts and overcomplication that only delays the inevitable. Personally, I'm fine with the fact that wearable items wear when used, and eventually need to be replaced. What can't be easily replaced in this situation, or the inner C's, which will in fact lose bore dimension with every successive removal and reinstallation of ball joints.

My E36 brake kit will be here this weekend., so next week If I have time I will do my brakes and maybe the Apex tie rods.

Did your E36 kit come with slotted rotors? I have a set sitting in my garage somewhere. I picked them up early last year when they were on sale with a rebate.

They have the grooves from what I ordered. I do not think they are slotted. My jeep is so heavy I hope these help.

Do you mean the Z36 pad and rotor kit from PowerStop?

 

[19 JLUR Bright Whit3]

Disregard. I have the PowerStop Z36 kit.

Disregard. I have the PowerStop Z36 kit.

Ok, than yes you should have the rotors that are both drilled and slotted. I did this same swap about a year and a half ago.
