The balljoint can and will pop out of its socket if the bar is binding.

binded just by ungreased bushings? lol

one must be totally deaf not to first detect rowing boat squeaks and creaks prior to so much binding that it seizes the frikken bar??

i want to see poly bushing that is so frikken stiff that it equals the strength of bar being welded to the frame.

I popped the ball out of a OE rear on a very steep parking lot entrance. No knocking beforehand. It's loud.

You'll think something a lot more important than an endlink snapped.

wow that's crazy.

but thats not from sized bushings though. you extended the bar and suspension beyond the designed geometry.

Had the bar been sufficiently lubed, it had the travel to accomodate the angle. Give it a try- it sounds like you've been shot at. Almost cost me a pair of shorts.
