If you're like me... and bought these

EVS Tuning Offset Camber Joint (Front) - Honda S2000 Part Number: EVS-AP-OCJ-RD

you may have learned they fail under track use (they last about a year for me, which isn't surprising when I found it to be a sub $20 ball joint being used)

I purchased a 2nd set because I couldn't get evasive to tell me the model spec on the ball joint they used in the part for rebuilding and would only sell me a new set. I was able to get the woman at O'Reilly's to walk me back to the ball joint sections and we went case by case to find a match. we found the exact match in about 15 minutes.

MasterPro Chassis Ball Joint - Part # K9922

Rebuild process was straight forward, need a quality pair of snap ring pliers, a press, and some knowledge.

Remove the ball joint assembly from the car.
Remove the snap ring from old part.
Press out the old worn ball joint.
Remove the dust boot from the new ball joint (be careful not to puncture it).
Press in the new ball joint. (with dust boot removed, you don't want to tear it)
Add a little extra grease if desired in the ball joint before installing the dust boot we removed earlier.(not a lot of grease, just enough to cover the ball).
Install the new snap ring.
Install the dust boot.

congratulations, you just saved yourself $230+ bucks

 

Did the balljoint have grease that looks like a thick gray paste?

Seems like a lot of low quality, aftermarket ball joints (including the new model of SPC) come with that grease. The boots allow water in (another issue), and the grease does nothing to lubricate or protect the joint.

The grease looks like moly paste...which can ruin plastic bearings like those in a sealed ball joint.

I found that using a PTFE or Polyurea grease works better, and allows the joint to last more than the 5K miles it would last with the shit-grease.

Anyway, I don't think the Masterpro joint will last. It looks like that model is meant for the lower front joint of a 91-95 Acura Legend. Maybe buy a Genuine Honda joint meant for that car, and it should last over 100K miles.

Or see if a stock S2000 ball joint presses in.

The reason Evaisve isn't able to tell you is because these are likely a private labeled part, provided as an assembly.

 

It’s just a ball joint. Do yourself a favor and get the moog version with a lifetime warranty. Same part #
Evasive won’t tell you as they most likely just use the shitty version for cost savings.

 

Idk if a Moog joint will last, though. I'd rather just have a part that lasts than a part that they'll replace for free when it fails.
