Advice on Kzte Ball joint replacement
Greetings guys, I need to change ball joints on my Kzte. I originally had a set of original toyota ball joints that lasted about 2 years. They were replaced with part-quip about 3 months ago and i have already noticed a knocking sound from the RHS when going over a bump. I checked the ball joints, there is a slight play on all 4. I was actually interested in finding a heavy duty ball joint locally but there's nothing available or perhaps I am not looking in the correct places. I found out from Gemini parts and they mentioned that they stock a Japanese make that is very good, my concern is this is 1/7th the price of the original part so the quality is questionable? Any advice on what make ball-joint I should go for that is good quality and will last?

Re: Advice on Kzte Ball joint replacement
We recently had to replace the ball joints on our Isuzu. Agents prices was very steep so opted for Partquip.
Purchased the Partquip balljoints but was advised not to install them as worm oem balljoints are safer than Partquip. Oem develop play but Partquip tend to break.
Was then advised to get a set from this company:
