Default Blown lower ball joints

140415 miles later, my lower joints finally went, if it wasn't for that huge azz pothole I never saw last night, they would be still going strong, Poor truck, but napa is gonna hook me up with their lifetime ones for a decent price,

I have had both my Lowers Replaced with Moog ones by my mechanic, wasnt to expensive either. The 2000 I had all 4 Ball-joints went at once, Both uppers and Lower, and 1 Lower was replaced about a year earlier. We sold it and that when I bought my 05.

Ive hit alot of big potholes, and pits off road. Never had anything break as a direct cause, But I took precautions and replaced Struts and stuff before they went from a pot hole.

I have all new rancho suspension a few years ago, I guess the oem joints could stand up any more, and yes I hear good things about moog parts, but napa is next door to me and is easy access
