Hey guys, I got tires put on last week and the shop said I need 2 offset ball joints, they can't align my camber properly until I get them. They also said it was going to cost well over $400 just for the parts. Is there anything aftermarket I can do that might be a little cheaper or at least last longer than 57K?

Thanks

 

I think moog & Spicer have offset and rockauto.com is cheapest. But why are you getting alignment are tires whering funny if not I wouldnt bother.

 

I slid thru an intersection last winter and thumped the ditch pretty hard, ever since then my tires have been wearing more on the insides, I never really noticed it much until just the last couple months when I have been driving it a lot more than I used to.

 

Anyone happen to know the correct part number I might need, or how many there are? I don't know much about ball joints.

 

rockauto.com-the cheapest. moog uppers, part number k7448, lowers, k7467-uppers are adjustable-both are greaseable. guy at the alignment shop told me are trucks are the easiest to align. my alignment is perfect!
moog also has a lifetime warranty.

 

I only need uppers apparently, so I guess I will go with either the MOOG or SPICER uppers, both are listed but there are a lot more choice on SPICERS.

It says the MOOG uppers are for alignment purposes only?

 

Trust me.....if you are doing uppers.....do them all! I replaced all four and had the lowers out and that was the only way to get the press in there to get the uppers out! It will be more money now, but you will thank yourself and your pocketbook will thank you later!
