Am I reading that correctly- lifetime warranty on those? It's my understanding that Rare Parts is the business to go with now. They make a heavy duty joint that has had minimal reported failures. I run another brand so I have no experience there.

Id say there are not a whole lot of them out there as they are pretty $$$$ the concept is a good one tho.

Lifetime warranty on the "Terrain Tough" version ball joints, that's how I read it too. That's an unusually long warranty... In addition to others experience, I wondering if the grease fitting location is really where it shows in the pic on the lower joint?

Well they're pretty..

If the Synergy ball joints I installed a few weeks ago don't hold up these may be worth a try.

I've got about 35K miles on mine. So far so good running 35s/Raceline Beadlocks and 37s/TrailReady BLs. Probably time for me to adjust them since I've noticed a little squeak coming from the front end while turning. Though I'm not sure yet if it's ball joint related or tie rod / drag link ends...

I finally have the TTX ball joints in, the lower has the zerk in center. The dome with side mount does not fit our application. A 90° fitting I have are too tall to fit so I left the plug in after packing them full. Am searching for a solution to not have to pull shafts to grease for a future install. I don't have any other comparisons to go against, but these are a real solid joint, with the warranty and quality in these, I don't think can go wrong.
