People down here say that the valiants were hard on the front ends, ball joints and tierods all seem to get flogged out. Is this true for all A body cars? The car is running 15 x 7 cragars and 225/60 BFG on front. I'm curious to find out how people find with their rides. Is there any mods to sort these problems out?

I have a 74 Dart Fastback and have problems with front suspentions. Every two years I replace lower ball joints on the passenger side and i think 4 years ago the driver side. Tie rods are 8 years old and seem ok still. Many people with A-bodies I talk to say it is a common problem. I think that the replacement parts are not very good either. The TRW ones I used were rebuild old ones which scares me a little but I guess it is common to have rebuild ball joints. Still dont like it though.
