Hi, yhe one that orignally came with my van is the cast type like the one in the top picture. After ball joint failure, (not replaceable on the cast type), I switched to the pressed one. I used them for almost 5 years, but when ball joint and bushes got worn, I decided to go back to the cast type so I have experience of uaing both. After swapping to the cast type, I realised what I had missed without knowing. They are way superior offering perfect steering geometry. After alignment, the car's steering was accurate and the bushes being genuine were very ailent - it felt like a new car. The experience is so great that I can never use the pressed type again.
