[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 600106, member: 9031"] Heads up I have been down the road. Don't put any ball joint in that isn't dynatrac!! Moog, master pro, OEM etc. all garbage. They will not last off road. That's a guaranteed promise. I have run OEM, master pro and moog. Same results. Only I have ripped the lower ball joints into 2 pieces which bound up my shafts and ripped the ears off my inners as well as exploded my front axle u joints. All because when they separate the outer knuckle rises and wedges the shaft in place. You stay on the gas and it's a crap storm of failure. Point being, dynatrac is the only company making a lower BJ that uses a spherical heim in place of the OEM plastic shell with a snap ring on both sides of the heim. Plus the housing is machined from a solid billet versus the OEM is a cheese **** mild steel that is crimped around the ball of the lower stud. I now run dynatrac lowers. I'am very happy with them. I didn't go uppers because that's not the ultimate failure point of the joints. It's the lower joint that is pulled from the body. So drop the coin. You won't be disappointed with the quality. On a side note, I had to ream my lower BJ taper on my inner C so the upper joint would fully seat and center the outer knuckle. This pissed me off after waiting 3 weeks to get the joints and finishing the job on a Saturday at 5pm. So I couldn't call and ask about this. Good luck. Don't ever run OEMs. Guaranteed they won't last. [/QUOTE]
