Ball joints

[drbandkgb]

Well I went to have an alignment done and its a no go due to the lower ball joints being shot. So now it's time to buy and install new ones. Anyone have a recommendation on parts and so on?

I used Moog greasable ball joints and Im happy with them, I got them at www.rockauto.com. I tried having autozone and oreillys do a price match but they didnt.

Though mine haven't been installed yet, I also went with Moog ball joints.

However, I also picked up a full set of Deeza tie rod ends, and after seeing the quality of the tie rod ends, I'd like to get my hands on some Deeza ball joints to compare to the Moogs. The Deeza TRE's look to be top quality pieces. I'm excited to get them in the truck.

Ball joint part numbers if you're interested:

Moog:
Upper: K90663 $33.22 on Amazon, $27.79/$30.89 (?) on RockAuto
Lower: K80591 $36.82 on Amazon, $29.89/33.79 (?) on RockAuto

Deeza:
Upper: NI-G618 $30.18 on Amazon, $26.79 on RockAuto
Lower: NI-G616 $39.27 on Amazon, not listed on RockAuto

I ordered moog.. me and a buddy put them in when we swapped out the OE knuckles for the reamed-out ones.. we were already in there so I went ahead and replaced them

I have a full set of Moogs for the last 3000 miles. The worst part if the lowers is separating them from the knuckle. Remove the half shaft and the rest will be cake.

Oh, and check your uppers too. Mine were rotting something fierce.

Ebay seems to have the best prices and variety of ball joints. Wish I would of known that before paying twice as much at the autoparts store. Moog has been good. Two years strong yet the boots are rotted.
