Notes on our concerns with adapters that retain the stock Insight lower control arm ball joint:

-Utilizing the stock Insight ball joint for the amount of power a K series can produce is risky as it is significantly undersized for those potential loads. The OEM ball joint studs are known to snap on K series swaps. Additionally, the stock ball joint rides in a plastic cup, in the aluminum arm. This allows for a lot of additional wear when put under load, loosening the joint significantly. Aftermarket Insight arms are made to a worse standard than OEM, keep that in mind if you have to replace your arms.

–Designs without snap rings. We have seen adapters produced without snap rings and if a large enough bump is hit, the press fit adapters can loosen or pop out of the knuckle.

–Annoying serviceability. With these adapters, the strut has to be removed anytime you need to service or swap an axle and the strut and axle have to be removed anytime you need to service your lower control arm.
