Warranty them? Although getting Megan to warranty anything is a pain and you'll probably have to fight them to make it happen

yes I was considering the warranty . but I purchased through eBay lol

also, I have looked up how to rebuild the ball joint video featuring a Porsche with OEM UCA

all I need is ball joint kit , stay away from Moog parts I haven't heard the best , id go rock auto to see what they offer.,

grease gun, drill + bits, press.

I bought through Amazon and where I purchased wasn't a problem. They just kept telling me that I installed it incorrectly when it was a manufacturing problem. They drilled the taper for the tie rod waaay to large. Eventually sent a replacement part but it still didn't work well. Personally I won't buy Megan again after that experience. Try warranty first would be my advice

Never been a fan of Megan parts.. very cheap. But thats their purpose. Affordable with wide aftermarket support. And I will hand it to them, better quality than most in their price range. But there is a reason ebay is full of Megan performance parts and they are always the cheapest name brand option. Can I ask why the adjustable "tow" arms were necessary? I can see why some cars that are lowered substantially might need the adjustable control arms to get camber in spec, but only under extreme circumstances would you not be able to adjust your tow to within spec with oem components. Like wrecked or bent/damaged parts.
