Default Steeda ball joing questions

My ball joints are squeaking like there's no tomm so I'm replacing them. If I get the steeda x2 ones do I still need to get the bumpsteer kit.
Or shud I just get replacement ball joints(raybestos) with the bumpsteer kit.
OR! Just get both the x2's and the bumpsteer kit.
Car is lowered 1.5in all around. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Hello Cobra,

If you buy our ball joints, you will need our bumpsteer kit as well. Let me know if I can help you with any questions, or with ordering your x2s and bumpsteer kit. Just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to help!

Regards,
John

I have installed the X2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit along with springs, shocks/struts, ect.. First off, the quality of the X2 balljoints are second to none, very strong as I found out accidentally running over an unmarked construction site.
-I advise you to take the car to a Mustang or a speed shop for the alignment, very important.

1.5 aint chit... you don't need X2 or bumpsteer. Throw some MOOGs on there.

I second the moogs! I put a set on mine and they are alot beffier then stock. You dont need the Steeda unless you plan on droping it.

Strong as in firmer and better cornering?

Do you have good shocks and struts to match your lowering springs? If not then that will make a huge difference. Tokico, Koni, Bilstein...

Yea I have tokico shocks and struts. I would say firmer, cuz right now the car is just all over the rode. I just wanna make sure that the car will drive better with just replacing the worn out ball joints.
