Ball joints

Looking at ordering new upper and lower ball joints at partsgeek.Com was looking at moog but there are different uppers and lowers with differ prices. Are they all the same or is some different sizes? I'm going to replace the front u joints,wheel bearings, and possibly tie rod ends. But right now I'm a little confused on the ball joints.

Check Amazon for prices. If you already have prime their prices are crazy good and super fast shipping.

If I was torn into to it that far already, I would go ahead and do both uppers and lowers.

And that's how the "while you're in there" snowball begins.

I think he already is, he just wants to make sure he orders the correct ones.


These are the ones I found at rockauto for a f350 4wd. The Lower joint that Jball mentioned earlier is for a f250. Green 95, I couldn't remember if yours was a 250 or 350


Upper K80026
Lower K8607T

I'll start my own thread if this is a distraction:

I followed the torque procedure that came with the ball joints when I replaced my D60 ball joints. But the the top lip of the top caster/camber adjustment sleeves did not pull down tight to the knuckle.

During a later alignment (maybe the second or third since their replacement as I was changing springs in the rear, etc) one of the sleeves was removed for inspection (it was easier for the tech to remove it than it was for him to maneuver his less than svelt body into position) to note the degree markings. But when he installed it, he drove it all the way flush before he tightened the nut.

Are these sleeves supposed to be flush or just however deep the torque process pulls them?
