_incidentally....a balljoint,installed so that gravity holds the ball in the socket, will not separate ,if within it's articulation limits
the harder it's loaded, the tighter the two parts engage.
When the assembly is being used,gravity plays no further part in it's mechanical integrity.
Just let us know when you've made up your mind, eh?
