I just have a set of MOOG installed in my JK. Not cheap but it all goes back to you get what you pay for. Dynatrac makes a heavy duty set too and they are rebuildable. Again a little costly but we aren't just putting normal wear and tear on them. Well, I guess we kind of are, its a jeep.

 

I'll have to check this out!

 

I went with MOOGs as well, other than the labor to change, which is not too bad after you do it once, in my opinion the moogs are a better deal, buy them once and lifetime warranty. the dynatrac you have to buy the re-build kit, and there is still a certain amount of labor involved. I have a couple of moog products (tie-rod ends) and am very happy with them.to the poster who was wondering why they are so readily available, I was wondering the same thing and asked the sales guy to search all the vehicles that use these ball joints, and there was something like 400 + matches, from dodge trucks to whatever.The only thing with the moogs is that the lower ball joint grease fitting does not fit with the axle installed. so you have to grease it, take the fitting out and re-install the metal threaded cap before you put your font end back together.

 

Yeah the lifetime warranty plus they are way beefier than the stock garbage, it's a win win.

 

FWIW- We have yet to sell a rebuild kit for any application of our ball joints. They also don't need to be removed for rebuild IF they ever need rebuilding.

 

If they ever need re-building?? so are you claiming that they may not ever need to be re-built?

 

Im pretty sure thats what he was saying..... Glad i upgraded to the dyna's when i got my pro-rock. Worth it IMO.

 

I can't say that they'll never need rebuilding but we haven't seen any yet. Will you keep your rig forever? Depending on age and use, EVERY moving part could be considered for replacement.

Our D60 ball joint testers were guys that jump their pumped up PS Diesels at Glamis. They run 40s and trick suspensions. They could take out a set of stock ball joints in a weekend. Now, nearly 3 years later, they are all still tight.

Stuff happens, no doubt, but we've seen no issues with these ball joints.
