That shot of the dried up grease really illustrates why the greasable moogs are a superior unit. That joint wore away because of the lack of lubrication.

yeah, except when your laying on your back or placing the jack just right....lol I do like the old fashioned look though. There are a few streets right by me that are like that. they are dead ends though. i like driving over them.

Nice video. Gives guys something to look out for! Mopar balljoints, tierod ends and shocks all suck ***** for the front suspension of these Rams.

pssst...nice rotors. What brand are they? How they holding up?

Your right about lying on your back with those old cobbles Horseapples and dirtydog ha ha ha. They are a real handful to drive on in the wet.

As for the rotors, they are the EBC 3gd and I run the greenstuff P6000 performance pads.
They are nearly dust free, stop great and are wearing very well.

Frog.....I watched your "classic" detail the truck video......awesome dude lol.

As for the grease in that sealed for life unit Frog, your bang on! The Moogs look and feel far superior than the OEM's and I WILL religously grease them every 2-5000 miles, as I don't want this to ever happen to me and the family again that's for sure!

I recomend everyone with a Ram 1500 to check their balljoints. This really scared the crap out of me when I looked at the condition the OEM's were in.
