Default Ball Joints

Replaced worn rotors and found that the upper ball joint on the passenger side had some play in it. The parts store doesnt carry the ball joints in stock, where do you fellas get your ball joints and what kind do you get.

Every national supplier offers moog. I have the catalogs if you need part numbers.

Moog. Any good parts store should be able to order them for you. rockauto.com also. Lifetime warranty too.

dont order them online! i made that mistake twice. got the wrong ones both times. i would go right to the store and buy them O and moog are known for being super tight...so if u have problems with ur steering wheel returning to center after install just keep greaseing them and driving the truck. O and make sure u follow the torque spec and sequence... it makes a diff.
