OK, the short story is this, I first replaced my springs, with a 2.5 and 2.25 drop front and rear. I liked the drop, but the shocks/struts were bottomed out (harsh ride, no rebound-lots of bounce). I bought lowered shocks/struts and the ride was much better but my factory bellows were smashed and some of my factory front strut caps were stripping out. The lowered shocks/struts ended up lowering my ride another 3/4" or so. I bought KYB strut top replacements and bellows and installed them, ride is butter smooth now, even though it is about 3.25" lowered in the front. I am now , However; getting a clucking noise on hard bumps in the front, and I noticed when I was replacing the parts this weekend that the steering ball joints are squished and leaking grease. I am thinking of replacing the upper A arms and ball joints and the lower ball joints with Moog parts. Do any of you have experience with this and what would you recommend. The parts are original now, so the extreme drop have definitely killed them, and I am looking for an aftermarket set that can handle the lowered additional pressure. Here is a pic of the ride after all the parts were installed this weekend. Thanks in advance for your help, I want to replace these parts ASAP (possibly next weekend)...
