Can I ask why?

Can I ask why?

Once you get the SATV and the OEM balljoints in your hands, you will have your answer. SATV I believe has had several ball joint failures.

Could it be that the OEM joints are made in Japan, and satv are made in China?

Wha?? No... 🤣 🤣

We made a change about 2 or 3 years ago from a cotter pin to a nylock nut...and it scared some people. There were a few caught between the change where the pins were still a little long after switching to the nylock....but it wasn't really an issue. No problems though.

That's a good catch though. Who knows....there's always the possibility of a fluke in mass production.

They do have a 1 year warranty! And...that obviously shouldn't happen, so I've got you covered.
