I think that the reason no one has come up with this replacement, is
there isnt a real advantage to doing it. I can see modding the upper
arm, but to replace everything just to get disc brakes doesnt make any
sense to me. There are two widely used disc brake options available
on the market, and my setup which is lessor known and still relatively
new. I have only two sold, and one has been installed.
What would be useful is a power box to replace the rather complicated
Stude power steering system. Replacing the whole suspension just to
get ball joints is kinda a step back. Granted ball joints are normal
use these days, kingpins are considerably stronger and controled. Its
not, in itself, the problem. Perhaps once we hear of a successful
install of a Phantom front suspension, we will all eat crow?

In all fairness: modern ball joints are quite tough.
I very much agree about your thoughts one a decent PS system though.
Things happen for a reason
