Default Ball Joints- where to find quality

Where do the 2nd gen guys buy their ball joints from? I don't want to replace them every 25k miles....

I noticed quite a bit of up/down play on the wheel when I changed my front brakes

Go with the moogs with grease fittings....cant go wrong with moog and there's a lifetime warranty i believe. they're pricey, but i've never had anything but good things to say about them. Go to rock auto and use the discount codes in the sticky on this forum

This topic has been beaten to death. A quick title search for "ball joint" in the Second Gen Technical Forum yields pages of hits:

Thanks for the replies guys.

And I have always had trouble using the search function on dodgeforum. I must have to tinker with some settings next time I'm on the computer(use my phone 95% of the time)

once you know the moog part numbers from rockauto, compare to amazon. i can usually get parts from amazon with free shipping for less than rockauto, and with amazon prime, its here in 2 days.
