LMC Truck ball joints?

I am shopping around to replace my old ball joints, has anyone ever ordered lmc truck's? How about Duralast? I Can't really afford to go with moog at this time so I have to go the cheap rout.

Check with your local parts store.... If you go the cheap route, expect to do them again next year.

I did all four ball joints 2 years ago with the cheap-o's from Advance Auto. Just keep them greased and you'll definitely get your moneys worth.

That's good to know. Autozone has duralast ($34) and valucraft ($20) ones. I don't know if I want to go valucraft cheap though. The duralast's have a lifetime warranty which is good.

I have used the Duralast with LT warranty and never had a problem. I think the VC ones do not have grease fitting. Make sure you can grease,,,,and keep them greased. SHould be fine.
