Well the almost 4 year old replacement factory joints crapped the bed. So I have been looking for a suitable replacement. Did some research and my local Napa has re-boxed Raybestos. I watched both the Raybestos video and Napa video containing ball joints and they are exactly the same. They are knurled and are a bit of a bear to get in but seem to be of good quality. Just wanted to share for people looking for the Raybestos joints.

I would not use the knurled ball joints unless your ball joint sockets are beat up and wallowed out. If you put the knurled problem solvers in you are stuck with them from then on because they will make the sockets bigger when installed. I would use a smooth body ball joint if I did'nt have a problem with the ball joint socket. Just my .02

These are your best option for a good quality ball joint that is better than the box store stuff.
