How many miles were on your original ball joints? Did you go with aftermarket new ones or OEM and how many miles did they last? Sorry for the questions but I feel like a lot of people including myself would like to know because stock balljoints on the JK are crap so eventually we may all have to go through this. Thanks

 

A little under 25k on the stock ball joints. I'm not sure what they were replaced with. I couldn't figure out the death wobble issue, so I took it to a reputable Jeep builder and he did the work. I still have to call him about it as the ones he put in really only lasted about a month and a half, although that includes a pretty narly Rubicon run, so I can't really fault his work lol.

 

Thanks hopefuly you get everything straightened out with your new set

 

Good to know that you found the problem and had it repaired. Sorry about the new one already being shot, that sucks !

 

The OEM ball joints are junk. Replacements from the dealerships only have a 2000 mile warranty, that should tell you the quality. It just blows my mind that Jeep uses these.
I went with the Dynotracs and although they're expensive, I feel I'm money ahead in the long run.
