I have the front Upper and Lower Ball joints, and front wheel U joints gone in my truck AGAIN and was wondering what brand everyone would recommend to use? Any suggestion would be appreciated......

Dynatrac sells rebuildable, greaseable ball joints. They are three times stronger than stock. I got mine through 4wheelparts.com. I wish Dodge would go back to real front bearings and good ball joints, this has been my biggest expense over 200k miles. If I bought a new Dodge tomorrow, I'd put the Dynatrac Spin Free locking hub conversion in with their ball joints before it left the lot.

A lot of guys go to www.rockauto.com and buy the moog BJs as they are service-able as well.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Moog. I have heard that the XRF joints. Also heard some good things about McQuay_Norris Brand. Anyone else?

I dunno, I've heard some negatives on Moogs recently as well, but I've used Moog parts since the early '90s and ain't had a bad one yet...
