Ordered MOOGs today. I can only hope for the best. I had the option of the ones with adjustment for 130 or the stock replacement for 70. I think it goes without saying which ones I chose. Thanks for the input. I still havnt decided if I want to tackle them myself or have someone do it for me. Leaning towards having somebody do it though. Hopefully the truck will track strait after these. thanks

I have Parts Masters on my 97, just put them in so I don't know if they are any good. They are made in USA but they could just be old stock.

I've also heard a lot of good from XRF, and thus far no warranty issues so I will be giving them a try for my next ball joints on the '01.
Who sells the XRF brand ?

once you do it yourself 5 or 6 times it is real easy. all 4 can be done in less than an hour.... but i think the book calls for a few hours shop time.
