The trick is making sure she doesn't lean on the console and roll the windows down at 120mph. Nothing ruins the mood like the sudden roar of wind noise.

Oops, guess this thread isn't about what I thought it was about. Oh well, free bump.

We use Proforged ball joints for the year of car indicated. If you choose a tall ball joint you can press it in, no problem. Give me a call at 814-376-6000 to order or email me at support@umiperformance.com

120mph? You're a braver man than me...

Our cars are getting old and the plastics were never that good, it's worse when she cracks the center console... I and one 3rd gen that had a piece of wood screwed to the back of the top of the console by the window switches for this reason
