Ball Joint discussion...

[FL06SRT10]

I'll be going with NAPA Chasis Parts Ball Joints...like $19 for the uppers and $20 for the lowers....then renting the ball joint press from Autozone ($100 refundable)...then taking it in for alignment at Norms here in Zephyrhills for $59.95.

Damn that's not a bad deal at all.

I was under mine adjusting the slack in my gear box and noticed my passenger side tie rod was seeping grease from the boot so looks like I'll be re-doing the front end in the near future

I dont know what Advance thinks about their ball joints...I was looking on there and for some odd reason, the 2WD ball joints, both uppers and lowers will run me about $80 per side...but 4WD ball joints they have for less than half the price of 2WD ones...

From what I have been reading...the Moogs arent much better than OEM...

[FL06SRT10]

Did my upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, sway bar links, and new Monroe sense-trak shocks today and it rides like a new truck just need an alignment because of the new parts. :)

[FL06SRT10]

By the way my inner tie rod ends were good so I have a set leftover if anyone needs inners for a dodge Dakota or Durango 1997 1998 or 1999 2wd. Let me know I'll make ya a deal!

[03 Rammer]

Jay Pm'ed you

Thats what I've heard alot, but the Moogs have the greese fittings. At least on mine that way I can make them last a little bit longer. Already can tell at least one is bad again. The 2500 ball joints suck mainly the lowers.

[Fla 66 cuda]

All of the replacement balljoints come with grease fittings as far as i know [the sealed ones were a failure] i replaced mine with ? brand three years ago far as i know they are still good,gotta replace all the tie rod ends and idler soon i just replaced the pittman last week,i'm gonna check the ball joints again when i do that, they seemed ok when i changed the pitman [checked them when i found out the pitman was bad] just seems like i have some play up front when you are going slow over speed bumps [feels like something moving forward and backward no clunks or creaks you can feel it on the floor]kinda hard to explain i'm thinking maybe control arm bushings or another ball joint. We'll get'er fixed up plan on rebuilding complete front end soon it's probly due.

Not the OEM ones, they come sealed no greese fittings. But yes some of the aftermarket ones usually do.

[Fla 66 cuda]

Yes i know the oem ones would not but i rather be able to maintain them to get that extra year or so besides if they gave up why on earth would you put the same thing back in ???????????????? Some folks just like gettin flogged by the dealer.

Hey 03Rammer, i think Jay Mentioned your name as Arron. Im gonna be in the market for some ball joints soon...was changing the oil today and i noticed that both of the boots on my lowers are pretty much shot and i suspect the uppers might be due for replacement also...i dont have any steering issues ( the steering wheel is tight as a virgin) so i dont think that i will need any tie rods or ends i just want to replace the ball joints to prevent any further harm. Would you be able to help me out as well? It would be much appreciated
