i like moog. i dont like mopar

I've heard that Moog no longer stands behind their warranty unfortunately...
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.

Moog are pretty good quality, and if you buy crapa premium (NCP line) you get lifetime warranty.

If you have the tools and time to replace them under warranty, its cheaper. If you need something that will hold up for many many miles, you might look elsewhere.

Dynatrac is what I'm running, got bout 15k miles on them so far, still nice and tight

say no to Perfect Circle, TRW and MOOG's from Orielys Auto. after replacing the PC's 2 times, the TRW's 2 times i went to MOOGs. Oreileys auto warranted them out once and told me it was on me after that.... i haven't found a good balljoint for these trucks yet. 90% are made in China and are crap after 6 months.

the local dealer here denied to replace my brother's bosses' ball joints at 24K miles on his 07 back then because they said they didn't fall under the bumper to bumper 3yr/36K because they were a :":wear item:": like tires and brakes.....

at least get them at napa then, every napa I know will warranty their lifetime parts. I know when people bring things in what I've been taught is if it says lifetime, it's LIFETIME. you write down whats wrong with it and put it in the warranty pile. Thats it unless it looks like its abused like someone REALLY did something wrong.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now I just gotta break down and buy them.:c:
