Hey all, thanks for any help here. I have a 2005 F350 DRW 4x4 CC. I need to replace ball joints. I did a search and there is a ton of helpful info on how to do it. What I can't seem to find is the best brand, and/or, who has the best pricing.

Seems Moog and Dynatrac are getting good reviews. When I went to dynatrac's website, I couldn't seem to find just balljoints. My mechanic friend said some Moogs were too tight, and he also recommended Spicer.

there is another seller that has a kit for up to '04, with Moogs, seals, etc.. for $320. But it doesn't seem like they are for an '05!!

So which ball joint is the best value for the money, will last the longest, and where can i get it for the best price?!

THANKS!!

 

Be real wary of off brand parts, eBay vendors... etc.

Insist on real stuff, whichever one you buy, from a known good supply chain.

 

dynatrac got back to me....$600 JUST for the ball joints, no seals. I think I'll look for the Moog special that was something like $320 with all the seals. unless someone here can steer me to something better.

ya, I hear ya on the cheap stuff. i looked on ebay and there are a few advertising 1 year warranty, and I can get all 4 for $40. I know they generally have a plastic sleeve instead of metal used on good ones. And the cheap ones wear out too fast. The warranty sounds great EXCEPT you still have to spend a full day doing another re&re, pay shipping, and go thru the hassle of them saying nothing is wrong!

I will splurge for quality in this case, mostly because of all the work involved.

 

try some of the online places, even Amazon is selling auto parts these days. I'd go with best online price I could get on MOOG.

 

The best pricing I could find for my 2004 was Amazon.
