Default Front Suspension Parts Recommendations

Hello,

I am going to replace a few parts on the front end of my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 in the near future and I thought it best to get some brand recommendations before-hand from people who actually own the truck. I am going to need wheel bearings, U-Joints, and ball joints. Who offers a lifetime warranty? best quality? NAPA? Moog? Any suggestions are fine, they do not have to be cheap, generic, or w/e. They could be off-road high performance or OEM etc. I just want to do some research before and see what all of my options are.

Thank you in advance.

There really isnt much upgrading you can do that I know of. From what I understand, the best ball joints are the Moog brand and wheel bearings are the Timken (not sure on that spelling) brand. But, its hard to go wrong with anything at the parts store that has a lifetime warantee.

Your to trusting of other people. Like I said before, the "lifetime warranty" will cover everything EXCEPT the reason why your bringing it in for. I.E. your screwed!!!

When I do replace my ball joints, I'm gonna call this company:

Everything else will be replaced with Moog parts.
