Some times the saying " you get what you pay for" is true. I've always had good luck with Moog.

Hey benny like 69cj said you get what you pay for that being said dynatrac has some bad assss ones that are supposed to be rebuildable and if i am not mistaken you can rebuild them on the truck , i may be wrong on that one but think you can . But i think they are around 900.00

thanks for the replies guys

and I was thinking 80.00 a ball joint was high

it would be cool to be able to rebuild them on the truck but all I saw was it was rebuildable without any special tools

looked to me like you undo the bottom on the ball joint at the grease zert and then you can pull the king pin out the top.

you still need to separate the steering knuckel from the axel to be able to pull the ball joint apart.

the time saving is you dont have to press the ball joint out of the steering knuckel you just replace the guts when you get steering knuckl separated from the axel

659.00 is alot for ball joints

I will probably just roll the dice on the moogs

thanx guys
