I put mine in last week and no issues to report. I've never done ball joints before and install was straight forward. Getting it all stripped down and the knuckle off the old ball joint was the most cumbersome part. Break in is coming along - going from shot OEM to these is definitely a tighter setup. Got a trail ride coming up that should help accelerate the break in process a bit.

Things went south for me, a small clicking noise turned into a terrible clicking noise with every turn - first passenger then both sides. It seems I had an old version of the kit. I swapped them out with Dynatracs and haven't looked back. The American Iron guy would have sent me the updated part, I'm sure, but the hours of pulling everything out and putting it back - I just needed to get it to something that would work. I'm sure folks have had good experiences with these, but I moved on.
