Does Crown and Mopar have the same part number for their ball joints? I saw 4WD Hardware's site, they have Crown ball joints listed as:

CRO68004085AA

Mopar's # is 68004085AA.

Quadratec has them listed as 68004085AA. Does that mean Quadratec's are Mopar replacements and only when there's CRO before the number are they Crown's?

 

well that's interesting. more thank likely it's something like you've described. question is, are the factory ball joints better than crowns?

 

I believe a lot of the crown yj and tj parts have the same part #s as mopar as well.

 

Well I guess we'll find out. I see too many threads on Mopars failing so quickly. So, I'll try out the Crown's and see how long they last. I took out a shaft on Sunday's wheelin' trip which might of "added" to the ball joints failing. I'm still on my first set at 38k. Been having a little shimmy since 5k ago, I'm thinking the ball joints were taking a crap since then.

 

i just got those from quadratec and they said they had greese fitting but didnt when i got them, great more crap parts
