I'm receiving conflicting information on which ball joints to use. A Arms are modded, stock cavy knuckle... Which ball joints? Alero or Cavy? My Cavy ones are fairly knew <6k don't want to buy new if I don't have to.

oh and your package will mail tomorrow. they didnt like my packaging and wanted 22 bucks to redo it.
If your using j body knuckles get a j body ball joint, if your using aluminum n body knuckles get n body ball joints

Not only just your view, its the only way it will correctly work.
ALWAYS match the balljoint to the knuckle you are using. I think i posted this before but the mesasurements are different, as well as the taper.
The gold colored joint is for aluminum spindles/arms. The gray is j-body. :
Notice how the J-body joint has a slight taper and then straightens out, whereas the N-body joint is a bigger, continuous taper.
The N-body joint is also physically longer.
The N-body joint is a tiny bit smaller at the beginning of the taper compared to the J-body joint.
The J-body joint straightens out and is significantly smaller than the N-body joint at the end of the taper.

I choose the technology built for land speed records... not the technology built to save on emissions and gas mileage.
No problem. I could have swore that I posted these pix in the NWF thread. Maybe not though.

i use n-body ball joint with the aluminum knuckle, and the ball joint rubs on the disc... maybe its the brand!!

Nothing to do with this question, though. The NFW ball joint issue has been discussed plenty of times in those threads.
The J-body knuckle requires the J-body ball joint. No more complicated than that.
