I was planning on just going with the standard moog stuff from Rockauto for my front end but now I'm interested in the "Just Suspension" BJs that are supposed to be better quality. Anybody here used them?

I haven't used them, but I wish I would have had the option a few years ago when I did my front end rebuild. I would definitely go that route if I had to do it now.

I'd like to know more about this "CasterCurve" technology they're talking about. This is the first I've heard about it, and I can't find any info about in on their website.

I have a pair of their LBJ's on my Dart. Can't say there is any feel difference, but they were pretty well made on looking inside the dust boot at what you can see of the internals.

They say they're made by Spicer, which is usually good.

One problem is that one side of the mount bosses was not milled flat (DUH!) so the side toward the spindle would not seat to my liking. I ground them flat before installing. I am continually amazed by how badly replacement parts are made these days... I guess we take what we can get.

I can say that the recent MOOG stuff I've used is worse than 8-10 yrs ago.

I've been meaning to call Just Susp to tell them about this, but who has time to call about something they already had to fix and is installed??

I am nearly done installing a new front-end kit (rubber) from them, i'll let you know how the ball joints work.
