[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 295279, member: 240"] As posted, using the joints upside down will not result in a dramatic failure as long as they are good quality and checked regularly. They will however suffer from more wear simply because of the reduced working surface thats bearing the load eg. the cup and ball area is reduced because theres a big hole in it for the stub to emerge. This does not cause issues because the mileages, working conditions and loads carried on vehicles set up this way are much less arduous than those the vehicles were subjected to when they were in their heyday. For instance I would not be happy to run inverted ball-joints on a bus laden with 10 Watusis, their luggage and their goats, negotiating the unmade mountain passes of Etheopia :lol: If upside down joints were to be allowed to get severely worn they would pop out.
