well I just popped out a balljoint and it seems I've been running a year+ with no clips holding them in!

I guess theres no need for them!:confused:

You wont catch me running the stock ball joints at all. I have seen three break on 2 different quads. Check into some a arm mods with aftermarket ball joints. ALOT SAFER. in my opinion, but I guess everyone has one of those

Actually, if you think about the forces involved, you were relatively safe riding without the clips.
