The lower balljoint takes most of the load, its true. The orginal plan for this crazy project was the use of Porsche 928S spindles. The lower balljoints are quite heavy duty, but it IS a V8, and we are working on a VW, much lighter. I had reservations at first, but after reassurances from many sources, I am using the stock VW lower balljoint, and a Ford Galaxy tie rod end for the top one. I have a pair of Volvo P1800 lower balljoints that fit. They are designed for that location, as that car is double wishbone as well. They are a lot more bulky, and the attachement is odd compared to how cleanly the VW one will work. It may have to be changed later, but that's what we've come up with thus far. The VW ones are not interchangable as far as I know, as the top one is longer to go through the eccentric and the thick washer.
