I don't know why they'd do that.

I don't either? Good looking balljoints at a good price. Someone looking for them might stop at there being no TTX. I hate cotter keys!

Man, Rivers... I sure hope you don't get the COVID. That's all you need on top of everything else you've had going on!

I'm not. She's been back in for 3 weeks and this just came up today. She was in the ICU so I couldn't visit and now she's moved to a critical care hospital where I can't visit because of the virus. I feel fairly confident but I have to get tested again for tracking. They stick that damn Q tip so far up your nose it downright hurts. I say this with my fingers crossed!

Have a gander at these bad boys...

looks great and well made. honestly i don't think moog ball joints is anything to brag about. but definitely an improvement over OEM.

I just saw your Covid post. Be careful with that man. My wife just had it had even though it wasnt much fun for her I somehow didnt catch it. They say O positive blood handles it better for some reason so maybe there is something to that.
JP, Sorry I missed your added edit. I'm glad to hear you said "had" for your wife. I hope she doesn't experience any of the lingering effects they're talking about now. Seems to be a crapshoot. Did your wife pick the virus up at work or just wrong place, wrong time? I'm O Positive and although this is the first I've heard this I like hearing it.

No worries man. I wasnt sure you would see it either but I figured I would give it a shot.

She is back to her old self now with no lingering symptoms or anything so I am very thankful for that. She thinks she caught it at work but we honestly dont know for sure.

I'll see if I cant find the study but I was taking care of her waiting to see if I developed any symptoms and never even picked up a fever so I'm thinking that may be right.

I am also O positive.... and Rivers, I talked about the blood types and COVID a while back on here. Could have sworn you were in on that convo too.
