I'm looking to hear from some of you what brand of ball joints you have used and were happy with?
I know alot of people use Moog but I'm sure there are other brands being used successfully..

 

MOOG is good quality, i am running some greaseable's i got on ebay, not cheapo's but not the price of moog, no problems yet, 35x12.50's with a hell of alot of weight and HP

 

Moog ball joints are not what they used to be.

Look into XRF ball joints. Some of the toughest you can buy, and are actually cheaper than Moogs.

 

I will check out the XRF's Thanks, Which ones off ebay did you get?

 

Anybody running part stores house brands???

Pep boys, Pro-steer
Autozone, Duralast
Advance, OE, TRW & Moog
Parts Plus, Magnum
Napa, MRC- Master Ride

Then a Mom & Pop auto part store has Falcon Chassis products and Raybestos service grade....?????

 

dad got oe brand 75k(2 years old) ago........no issues thats why I went with those, $109 for all 4 vs $240 for moog and does the same job.

 

Not sure what brand is installed but I have reciepts showing that Les Schwabb installed all new susp parts including ball joints about 10//K before I bought my truck and I've put about ten k on. Everthing is still nice and tight . knock on wood

 

Pep boys Pro-steer:
Never used

Autozone - Duralast:
Decent, lifetime warranty, but how many times are you willing to take it apart to replace them?

Advance, OE, TRW & Moog
OE: Good enough for the average DYI'er, but not the best
TRW: Very good middle of road, I Use TRW's a lot, I had them outlast some Moog, Depends on the part. Most stuff is Very good to excellent
Moog: "Best you can get" but not like they used to be. Probably the best on this list though.

Parts Plus - Magnum:
Never used

Napa, MRC- Master Ride:
Used once or twice. Middle of the road type deal

I wanted to add one more

Parts Master (Also sold at Ma and pa type places as well as Auto Value):
Never used them on a personal vehicle. Will never used them on a Personal vehicle. Have had a lot of problems with parts for customer vehicles. Parts don't fit right, part boxed wrong, not very long lasting. Many come backs. I don't like them much. But then again, the customer gets what they pay for.

Never heard of Falcon brand.

Raybestos used to be good quality. In my opinion, now they are ****. I hate using their products, and I never will again.

Out of this list you compiled, I'd get TRW's, Moogs, or Duralast.
Personally I'd go get parts straight from Dodge, but I have a discount at the dealer.
