I've got about 10,000 miles on my Dynatracs and I highly recommend them. No wander and a very solid feel. Rebuildable without removal from the truck, should you have your truck long enough to wear them out. Very pleased. I got them in the first place, over the recommendation of my local garage, due to the bad rep the Moogs have on this and other forums. I just didn't want the worry, since I was going to have these things for a loooong time an put a lot of miles on them. I'm pleased with the Dynatracs and no worries.

I put the XRFs in about 15,000 miles ago - seemed much better quality than stock - fit was good - tightened up steering - no problems - believe me I HATE doing balljoints so I hope I dont have to for a while and I spent my money on the XRFs

I have an upper XRF bad and clunking after 9K miles. They are sending me out a new set for that side, and want the old ones back to check them.

Funny, the XRFs I just got via eBay from an outfit in Canada are sitting on my workbench and have grease fittings.

i am also debating between XRF and dynatrac. Xrf's are quite a bit cheaper but i dont want to get a cheap part and then regret it.

I installed the Dynatrac Prosteers a couple of weeks ago and I like them very much so far - fairly easy install as well.

The Mcquay-Noris joints are still holding up. Jacked the truck up yesterday and no movment, I only have 7 to 8K on them but for the price 278.37 shipped to my door upper & lowers I'm pretty happy thus far. I'll keep an eye on them and keep you posted. I got them from thetireclub.com they also carry the XRF joints, I'm running mobil synthetic greese in hopes to extend the life.

no going back

Yes, XRFs are good ball joints, but they're are oversized. Once you put them in, there's no going back. Wish I'd known this before I put them in.
If you need part numbers let me know.
Much better than stock or Moog - 20,000 + miles and feels better than ever.

They have a lifetime warranty or million miles - whichever comes first!
