Humm you do need to think about where the loads are, the maxi ball joint is not ideal for the lower wishbones on a locost ect. The suspension is
trying to pop out the ball (as the shock is normally putting it's load on to the end of the wishbone).. We seem to get way with it but I think
this is not the original function in the maxi ball joint.. So what you choose will depend on your application..
