Hi all,
Don't know if you have seen this thread on DMCTalk:

relating to DMCH Balljoints. There seem to be multiple reports of these joints wearing out prematurely, and all reports have so far been ignored by DMCH. They still have not responded to my private emails.
In the mean time, I'd like to find out how widespread this problem may be - has anyone here experienced issues with these ball joints?
From a safety point of view, the lower ball joint is one of the most critical areas of the car, so I think if there is an issue with these replacement ball joints which DMCH "developed", it should be taken seriously by them. Further, I think they should publish all details of their improved ball joints - are they a cross reference, or were they developed specifically for the DMC? If so, by whom, and what testing was performed?
Be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject,
Thanks,
John
