NAPA Ball Joints Anyone?
It's time to replace the ball joints. I have looked through various threads and cannot seem to find any reviews on the NAPA upper ball joints (I know that they do not sell the lowers, only the uppers). Does anyone have any experience with them? I like them because they are greaseable and not too expensive.
Also, there are a few possibilities regarding camber/caster...which one should I get if nothing is bent (axles tubes, etc.) and the camber is at stock settings still?

As an aside, I know that Dynatrac sells ball joints that people rave about, but I cannot justify spending $600 on them...just looking for some NAPA reviews.
Thanks!

Your link didn't work for me.
I went to the NAPA site and searched for ball joints for the JK. It appears they have only offset uppers.
If you don't need to change your camber or caster, these are not for you.
I believe all the after market ball joints are as inadequate as the OEM, except for the DynaTrac ball joints. Yes, they are expensive. But it's worth it for people who go through lots of the OEM types.
