Tom, Dinan just released their mini balls compatible with xDrive. They say they are the only "sealed" unit on the market. The Millways look sealed to me. Can you shed any light on this?
Thank you

Just had my Millway monoballs installed yesterday. First impressions, some added directness in the steering, possibly more feedback, but not as drastic of a change as others have been reporting. Overall I'd say it's an improvement, but don't expect some dramatic transformation. That being said I've had limited street time and haven't really put the car through its paces... so normal street driving I didn't notice a major change. Will update more as I drive it some more.

One additional thing to be mentioned - while I was having work done on my car (H&R sport springs, front mount intake, and the monoball conversion), I rented an Acura TLX for the day. So my expectations were recalibrated - compared to the TLX the G80 feels incredibly planted with super responsive steering - so I'll need to drive another G80 without monoball conversion to do an actual comparison. I don't know how much of what I'm feeling is an improvement over my G80 before conversion vs. just expecting it to be significantly better than a TLX.

Millways are sealed units.

The only change Dinan made to their design was to incorporate xDrive, which Millway was already doing from the start. Dinan has never claimed they were the only company offering sealed units.

They actually did.

Was giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, they’re wrong as you can clearly see the rubber boots on the Millways

That’s what I figured. Thanks. I’m not super familiar with the tech so wondered if I was miss8ng something…

I have the set i ordered from eas new in box. I am selling the car so won't be installing them. if anyone wants them, DM me.

I had mine installed today. Initial impressions are there is zero lack of precision in steering, dead spot reduced, and some extra feel. No downsides either.
