Triple 5?

[ajonesnv]

Have you guys used Triple 5 Ball joints before? I recently bought these ball joints from a Toyota only mechanic shop and had never heard of them. They look really nice, includes having a zirc (sp?) fitting on the side. They are made in Japan too.

Just wondering...

555 is the same company as Sankei which is who makes the OEMs. The factory stock ball joints are marked 555. Most aftermarket ball joints, tres, and several other steering and suspension components are also marked 555 (like Napa, Back-Arnley, etc..) because they are rebuilt parts which use the stock housings.
