as everyone knows balljoints on these rams arent all that great, so im having to do mine. just wondering if anyone has had success with a ceritan brand or what? also ive seen around some "camber adjustable" ball joints, anyone care to explain what this is about?

 

I put in XRF joints about 1-1 1/2 years ago. Haven't had any problems, so far, so good.

EDIT: The camber adjustable joints are so that the camber can be adjusted, it's not factory adjustable on the 4wd's. I don't know about 2wd. Only needed if the camber is out for whatever reason.

 

I used whatever OEM replacements the parts store had in my 2001. Only at 3k miles right now but I'm happy. I have had 3 different cars/truck that needed ball joints. I've just expected that it's something that will need replaced in any car or truck eventualy, esspecially if your driving a lot of dirt roads or hit potholes and go to fast over speed bumps.

 

I've always used moog with great results.

 

moog best value for the money

 

When I was going to do the joints, I was seeing a lot of threads here and other forums that Moog's quality had went downhill. That's why I had chose to go with the XRF joints. Not to mention that I've had to replace the same tie rod twice. Replaced it with Moog and it was bad in a month. I threw in some off brand and it's been good for over a year.

Sadly, I do not have much faith in Moog anymore. Although I do have a Moog track bar in that has been good for about 2 years now.

Hit and miss probably.

 

I know a couple years ago Moog started making a "cheap" version of everything. Like ball joints without grease fittings and such. Maybe to compete with the Chinese, I don't know. But, the "Problem Solver" series is still good quality stuff, at least from my experience. One to stay away from though is Mevotech.

 

Yeah the super strength, problem solver with grease fitting stuff still has good quality

 

+1 on all of the above, I went with XRF's and they are good so far.

 

I have good luck with Napa lowers.

Doesn't matter what I use for uppers, she just eats them all the same.

Grease fittings are nice to have.
