Description

DriftMax ball joint for control arm (knuckle side or subframe side)

This DriftMax ball joint is the separate spare part for the control arms of your DriftMax lock kit. Ball joints take a lot of punishment when drifting; with a separate one you only replace what is worn.

There are two versions. The ball joint on the knuckle side fits the control arms of the DriftMax BMW and Nissan kits. The ball joint on the subframe side is for the BMW E30, E36 and E46 kits. Both are supplied per piece.

A fresh ball joint keeps your steering angle precise and your front axle free of play.

DriftMax uses specific ball joints in its kits and tests its parts intensively. With the original spare part your front axle keeps behaving as it should, without gambling on a universal alternative.
