Yes, the upper ball joint only moves up and down and rotates. It does not swivel like the lower one or most other ball joints. As far as brand, I went with XRF but hear good about Moog too. I would avoid the big box store brand replacements.

Moogs wear out fast

Yea, but have you priced Carli's or Dynatrac's? Ouch. I have Dynatrac hubs and the quality is excellent but I wasn't ready to bust lose for their ball joints.

It's a very labor intensive job. You only want to do it once.
I've had Dynatrac's for a couple of years now. |
These are your best bet, as good or better quality than dynatrac/carli and lower price. Tension/wear adjustable and rebuildable in truck.
