The Nova balljoint is a bit of a weakpoint in the suspension setup as it is...I'd look at other ways of trying to achieve whatever it is you want to do

this makes the tca straight when you go very low so less bump steer

normally used to lower the centre of the balljoint so the wishbone is still pointing down and hence 'lengthens' as the suspension is compressed, adding negative camber as the original layout did. The only alternative is raising the inner mount which is normally not possible.

That said, I wouldnt fit those to my car!

Dont use them for that, use a rosejoint conversion on the rack ends and mount them below the steering arms

Never seen a positive review on rose jointed track rod ends, everyone seems to hate them.
