If I remember correctly, MOOG has lifetime warranty. Definitely consider warranty when making your purchase.

Agreed. This truck pulls trailers year round and pushes snow all winter. Every 5K I grease the whole front end and rotate the tires with my oil change/service. I just changed every joint in my front end this past summer, the OEM parts with 250,000 miles on them and just starting to get loose. I didn't think twice about putting all Mopar parts right back in. The way I maintain them I don't expect to have to deal with them again until 500K. Everyone I know who had factory parts wear out faster than mine either didin't grease them often enough, waited until after the damage was done to start getting disciplined about it, or never greased them at all.
