Default Ball Joints

Got my tires on today and took truck to get alignment and found out my Ball Joints are bad. Ive got to replace both upper and low ***** joints. Have you guys had some experience with different brands? Who makes the best?

all aftermarket are greaseable. i've replaced 3 sets of TRW from advance and 2 sets of Moogs from Oriliey's. the Moogs last longer between having to change them but they are all crap. the TRW's wouldn't last 6 months. the moogs lasted a year, and one set of moog uppers only lasted me 3 months before they were sloppy and beating around in the cup. this is on a 2wd so i can't speak for the 4x4 guys..... just figured i would rant about Dodge's AWESOME design of a front suspension.......

PS with a hand press i can swap all 4 balljoints on a 2wd in about 30 minutes now.....

I got the Moogs in right now, only the second set after the factories in over 200,000 so I'm not complainin any about em. I don't even need a press to change mine anymore. I anti-seize the hell out of em before I install them so they slide right out when the time comes.

Just got done installin a Moog Drag Link earlier today.
