OVERVIEW
Dinan's tension strut ball joint kit replaces the compliant factory rubber bushings in the front thrust arms with precision ball joints in machined aluminum housings, removing the flex that softens turn-in response on the G8x M cars. Nylon-lined sealed bearings keep the setup quiet in daily driving.

Notes
- This part number was split out from a multi-SKU draft listing that bundled it with both G8x coilover kits and both anti-roll bar sets as additional variants; each of those part numbers has its own individual Speed Logic listing, so this SKU has been given its own listing to match.
