Default Ball joints?

Are there any better ball joints than the Moog ball joints?

Looks like the way to go. Professional Grade. Raybestos


1992 DODGE D250 PICKUP Ball Joint


More Information for RAYBESTOS 5001020


Moog.

Impressive as well K7053T

More Information for MOOG K7053

The Raybestos ones don't use inserts like the Moogs, they use metal at the grease exit points.

So which one are you going to use? This will be a in-the-near-future project for me too...

Oh, the Raybestos ones for sure, they went above and beyond the Moog's problem solvers and the Moog's metal gusher style ball joint and Raybestos has a complete ball without the spring that can fail and looks like if you have a hard impact like hitting the curb it will not make the Raybestos one fail, if you look at the link for Raybestos there is a video, quite imformative about how the Moogs are made to this very day and how advanced the Raybestos ones are so much more advanced. Definitely have been a Moog man till NOW.

Thats funny... Ive always bought Moog parts for my trucks. The funny thing is, that wear and endplay they are talking about has happened over and over again with the parts that fail on mine....Next time Im gonna try the Raybestos parts and see how they hold up. Thanks Bladeyamaha for that info..

Yeah, no problem, ever since they had a giveaway and showed all the awesome products Raybestos actually had, I've been looking more and more to them for parts.
