Also on the hub it is an easy swap and since you're tackling the ball joints you have to take it out anyway.
Moog moog moog moog moog moog moog.
If you dont use Moog ball joints, and get the cheapies your an idiot P . A little extra money for a time proven part isnt the end of the world..

I've got to pick up some uppers myself. My one gripe is that I replaced the left outer tie rod end with a Moog 1 1/2 years ago and it went bad. I will chalk that up to "even the best make mistakes sometimes". No worries though. I will buy a new one, replace it, then send the old one back and get a refund. All I need up front to be all moog are the uppers and the right outer tie rod end. Then onto those squeaky bushings.

Of course their not indestructable, hehe. Save your receipts, i myself been through them all and moog's have held up the best. But then again i beat the living crap outta my D... Nothing like 5' of air to let ya know the D is front heavy, but i left my mark. Nuff ramblin go fix those squeaky bushings that you cant get replacements for..
