lol don't count on it..... i replaced my factory ones at 120K with the Advance Auto Parts TRW's.... then again a year later at 137K with Moogs.... then 6 months later at 147K with Moogs again.... then i replaced upper and lower balljoints, upper and lower control arm bushings and swaybar endlinks and bushings 6 months after that at 159K with all Moog stuff....... hope you have better luck than i do...... i got it down to an art though.... ~1.5 hours to do uppers and lowers on both sides with a hand press..... mine press in unlike yours that are now bolted in.....

well if get 100k out out of the replacements i will be happy, made it to 382K on the originals, and you never know how long the new ones will last, especially since they will get a shot of grease every 6k miles when i change the oil.

Sorry it took so long to get back with the part number for the upper ball joints, I used a friend of mines shop with a lift and its about 20 miles away from the house, and i have been getting ready to go to another military school on wensday for 18 days.

Here is the auto zone / duralast part number 104278

Thanks, you just saved my $150.

Xmidnite_riderx 06-30-2007 08:28 PM

Eddie

Nope, bought them and they have been sitting in the truck. I've been working 16 hour days 6 days a week and the boat on Sunday. I need to take the time to get them done but I have to fix the little misses car first.
