That's weird, I didn't notice that before. Lol, Moog part numbers too. Even though, some BJ part numbers are standardized. They are definitely two different manufactures. They're probably mislabeled.

 

Looks to me you didn't do the tie rod ends which I think is your problem hands down.

 

The problem with ordering online is if theres a problem then you have to send them back and wait but if you buy from local auto parts store you can just take them back

 

Check that one closely. When I tried to get them at the store the lowers came up as RWD only. They didn't have them in stock anyways. Everyone else I looked at lists only the uppers as well. (for 4WD anyways)

When I looked at the Energy Suspension ones originally I wasn't able to find the 4WD in the catalog (unless I used the "universal" ones). Now looking at the catalog it appears that the front end kit is part # 5.3139 so maybe they've updated their selection some? If you try them let me know as I'd like to replace mine sometime.

+1 Hydra for the tie rods as well.... don't forget them.

I just went to Advance Auto Parts Store and their Moog ball joints cost about $20 more for each peice! So multiply that x 4, and that's $80 down the drain. They don't even have the lower control arm bushings available. So I guess I'll be ordering the parts online which still carry a 2 year warranty so that's not bad at all.

However, I did notice a leak in my front axle seal drivers side and have been trying to locate it online. Does anyone know where I could get the seal and possibly the axle bearing? I might as well replace the bearing as well just to save on future expenses.

 

Sure bob, I'll post any updates on the install.

 

Yup. But I can always go to the local store to buy a part if I have to while I send the defective one back. While saving alot of dough by buying online.

 

i buy wholesale wasn't thinking about retail prices

 

NAPA is a good place to start.
