Tubular contro arms, any interest??

[Robert Mangas]

  Yeah, those are 'stock' ball joints, Lemforder, Moog, or TRW; I was just 
carrying forward your idea of comparing the price to OEM type bits.  I was 
hoping that Energy urethane bushings *would* last longer than the stockers, 
but I can't really speak from experience on that front.  I'd buy urethane if 
it was available though; stiffer than stock, not as hard as delrin.  Should 
also be dirt cheap in either of those applications.
