I talked to a local shop today about installing some XRF ball joints. I was quoted 3 hours per side at $250 per side. Does that sound reasonable for the job?

He has no issue with me buying the XRF ball joints and bringing to them. this is the first place I found that does not require you to buy thier parts.

Next question, for you guys that have the XRF ball joints for a little while... Any issues with them? I am trying to find a place to buy them right now.

 

Anyone?

 

Hi bansh-eman,

The Tire Club distributes XRF products and is a DTR sponsor. I have attached the link from the sponsor sub forum for your review. Hope this helps!

Price seems about normal from what I have heard, the only thing is it only takes about an hour to 1.5 hours if the unit bearing comes out easy.

 

Thanks Drizzle

 

do the axel ujoints why you are there. they have to pull the axels anyway so why they are out change them for preventive measures.

 

Makes sense... Thanks for the advise.

Any particular u joints you guys been having good luck with?

 

I highly recommend the Spicer Life Series for the third gen Dodge trucks. Try 8 Lug Truck Gear or Northern Drivetrain for the parts.

 

Any idea which ones? I looked at 8Lug and they have several different ones.

 

Contact George at 8 Lug. He will know exactly what you need as far as part numbers.

 

My brother in law did all 4 of my ball joints (XRF's), and u joints in about 3.5 hours. If you have air tools, and a good ball joint press ( think Snap on), it should go well!

 

how do u get warranty for the xrf joints? i have them and they are lifetime warranty. do we have to remove them when the fail and send them in? or do they just want a receipt?
