Default Has anyone installed these ball joints?

Since people have been having a hard time finding replacement ball joints besides the stock ones, I wonder if these would work? They even appear to be greasable, so Im assuming they might last longer than stock?

Crowns makes good parts, Atleast ive always been happy with their parts. its basically a factory replacement according to Northridge.

Maybe something has changed since then.

The fact that they are able to be greased though should make them last longer, no?

From the research I did on here they are not greaseable. The picture they have shown is a TJ not a JK.

Default ball joints

Just my opinion i have only ever used MOOG replacement ball joints not the cheapest but much better than any others i have seen and yes you can grease them.
