Hey, I was wonder if anybody has tried these ball joints. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-BAL...Q5fAccessories

 

dude dont buy cheep suspension parts trust only moog

 

That is not a job you want to re-do. Buy the best parts you can find unless you're selling your truck tomorrow.

 

Who has the best price on moog, and thanks for the reply.

 

Typically a local parts store, my parts plus has always beat online prices by a fair amount...

And they aren't lying, it's a PITA of a job and you don't want to be doing it again anytime soon! do it right the first time and forget about it.

 

Not to hijack the thread but I took my truck in for an alignment and they said I need to have adjustable ball joints installed? WTH are these? I've done all the work on my truck and never heard of adj ball joints and wonder if they're just trying to sell me junk. He stated you remove the nut on top of the front axle, remove the bushing and install the adjustable ones he showed. The guy even showed me the part which looked weaker than the factory. To me this sounds like a bunch of bs...Someone please tell me if this is correct? thanks.

Do ball joints really wear out at 180k? Any help would be appreciated.

 

yep!...........

 

Mine were gone at like a 160ish along with the track bar and some other stuff so check everything out really well

 

I put just put them in at 126000, probably didn't need to replace all of them put as long as it was apart i just stuck in all lifetime warranty replacements. But i also have a snowplow hanging off the front.

 

Had mine replaced at 203,000 miles really were not that bad, I just figured it was time, had them done by Carli Suspension Shocks 4 of 3" Kings Dominator full boat! 1994 12 valve 2500 4X4 Desert proven Keeps up with the traffic Thanks to Old Man Bob 4X4

 

You can find the Moog adjustable upper ball joints at Carquest under PN K7448. The greasable lowers are PN K7467. Also called Moog "problem solver" ball joints.

 

Thank you.
Sounds fairly easy to replace...about how long and how difficult or would you recommend having it done? thanks again.
