when i brought it back to o'rileys they measured it and it was off, im not sure by how much but the micometer had room to play! i also called federal-mogle and they said they have never heard of it either. one of the guys in tech support said and i quote "maybe one of the jurnals for the grease to go to the boot is clogged"

if its new what is in there to clog it?????

I'll be close to 140,000 miles on mine when it goes in.

i just realized this but are they charging you $800 for 4 ball joints????? because my total cost was $280 (i get a military discount) so your price is about $320 and if labor is $700 there taking about $480 and sticking it in their pocket. just thought i would let you know so you dont get screwed.
