Default L1 grippa ball ends

any one else finding that the kit ball end grippa `s seem to wear out quickly on the L1.
i noticed a lot of slop in the links on my grand daughters car last night and there is a lot of wear in the ball cups. not good really as the cat is only 2 months old and has`nt been abused on track

Not had any issues with the captive ball joints on either K2 or L1 but have had issues with the grippa’s for the steering servo on L1 (no servo saver getting a lot of abuse) and the long grippa’s for the bottom of the rear shocks on my K2 but not on the L1, think if they get a lot of debris hitting them (sand through Astro) they do tend to wear quicker and definitely noticed if car has run in the wet it happens quicker

I’ve just spoken to Dave Foster and he said if you email him at work he’ll sort you some replacements out and for you to send them back to him so they can take a look at them.

wondered if anyone has changed the grey kit ones to the pro sockets off the mi5 (u4254) and if they wear better
