Well, yet another Moog ball joint thread.
The reason why my steering was so poor!!! Just like the Carli website pictures, these lower ball joints are horrific. These have 11,000kms on them, that's it. Looks like they were recycled and this is the second set installed on warranty. Took them out and switched to an XRF. Now my truck doesn't wander or steer funny. NO MORE BINDING

 

I am curious as to how you cut them and what you used to do it. Those pictures sure have opened my eyes.

 

We spun them in a laythe and took the top edge of the cup off that holds it all together

 

Nice job there, actually getting in there to view the damage. I will have to agree, at that mileage those are defiinitely JUNK. Also would have to believe they were bad when you put them in. Have you contacted MOOG with this info? I'd be madder than a fistful of hornets!Best of luck with your new, improved front end!

 

The guys at Carli did the same thing,with the same results.

 

I am going to contact Moog soon. I seen them come out of the box new and go into my truck at the tire shop that has done all my work for 10+ years. Very depressing when the XRF's are way cheaper and twice the ball joint than the Moog. Just want to also inform others here to spend the extra money on a better ball joint like the Carli or the Dynatrac or at least save some money and buy the XRF's.
Let's see what Moog has to say???

 

Thank You! If I pull mine out I will do the same.

 

hmmm. im not goin to buy moog. Also thx for the pics this just helped me decide on my next purchase of joints.

 

You bet guys

 

I am in the market for some ball joints as well. Has anyone cut apart a XRF ball joint? I know they are fairly new to the market for our trucks, but just wondering about the quality..

 

Thanks for that,
I sent a link to this thread to Sage Carli.

 

Sweet!!! Just so disgusted with Moog!!!

 

Sage cut them apart before and showed us the same thing.

MOOG has refunded money to some people on this site.

 

They would probably only refund me for 1 ball joint though....

 

yeah after seeing this i want new ones too actually i just want my money back!
