Bad balljoint?
I hope the get it togeher soon... I've been putting off other upgrades to my axle: sleeves, gussets, RCV axles, PSC hydraullic, truss, ACOS Pro bumpstops... waiting to do it all at the same time.
Not to me. JK's with stock tires are also going through ball joints.
All the stress from the tires goes right to the ball joints first.
The problem seems to be the plastic in the joints can't handle the load.
They should have been bigger, or all steel, with grease fittings.

Mine failed under factory Rubicon wheels and tires.
Thank you for your patience. It's been hard for us too as our delivery has been postponed a few times.
Our shipment will get in next week but we will still need to inspect and assemble. If all goes as planned, and right now we're hearing all the right things, we should be able to start shipping the week of 2/28.
We understand the issue of cost. Our ball joints are a premium product designed for maximum durability. While we have a very large qty of product coming in, compared to what Moog(Federal Mogul) or some other mfg'r would do, it's still a very small amount. Also, please keep in mind that Pro Steer ball joints are made in the U.S.A. That cannot be said for most of the ball joints available on the market today.
I'll be back and provide updates as they occur.
We appreciate your support.

I had the same problem with my 07 unl. 4 dr. with 4" lift and 37" tires, took it to a good alignment shop with the newest alignment rack we went a couple degree more on the caster angle to almost 5 degree, I think thats what it's called, anyhow it stopped the DW 40.00 bucks .

Grab the tire at top and bottom and wiggle it to see if the top ball joint has any side play.
The limits are:
Radial (side-to-side) movement in the upper ball joint should not exceed 0.060" (1.5mm).
Axial (up and down) movement in the lower ball joint should not exceed 0.050" (1.25mm).
This should let you know before you have handling issues.
