I honestly don't think there is an easy / inexpensive way around this achilles heel. I flipped through some contacts that I know to see if anyone makes any exotic ball joints, but couldn't find any.

That's not to say that they don't exist, but if they do, I don't know of any.

Nope. Different ball joint (if memory serves me correctly). I think it's quite a bit larger.

i think you can use them but you would have to use a ball joint reemer to make them fit.
