nope just baby joints and been running them for while no with zero issues.
Was the joint that failed a ching chong heimy heim or an actual quality cromo? I feel like 7/8 is rockbouncer shit. Ive beat on my truck pretty hard over the years and still on the original steering joints
pretty sure it was an old school ching chong hot rod joint that i found in the shop

my steering set up is very ghetto as i dont have the fancy clevis's on the ram, just the joints threaded in then a pipe with plates welded ect. for the price to buy the psc clevis kit and a new joints it was few buck less to buy EMF ball sockets. so the new set up will be ball sockets at the ram and 7/8 tmr regular joints at the knuckle, should be over kill and ill blow apart my shit ford knuckles or bend the ram before having another steering joint failure :homer:
