Dinan tension strut ball joint kit

Does anyone have experience with this and/or what are your thoughts? It supposedly improves steering responsiveness and reduces brake shimmy. Seems like a relatively cheap mod.

While it will sharpen up the steering you will most likely feel a bit more NVH, comes with the territory of changing stock rubber bushings.

Don't put spherical bearings on your street car. Unless it's a dedicated track car and you want to replace these bearings as they wear out and start rattling...

Lots of E9x and F8x M3/4 guys love the monoball upgrade and report no NVH, but that is hard to believe. Even going to just the RE street bushing upgrade there is a noticeable increase in NVH. As a matter of fact, one of our customer had us remove the monoball the same day we installed it because of its harshness.

Not everyone will agree, but our tolerances to NVH is very different.

If you are going to upgrade, look at the RE street bushings.
