I have a 1997 ford f350 cc lb 7.3. Where is the best place to buy front end parts....upper/lower ball joints, tie rods, u joints, pitman arms, etc?


Thank you

 

Rock Auto is where I go for those parts. Moog

 

I will check them out right now. thank you

 

XRF are supposed to be the best. My link I had saved isn't working though.

 

I will also check into those. Waiting on a quote from my local ford dealer too

 

Well I heard back from XRF and they hooked me up with my local distributor. I called them to get prices and ended up placing my order for ball joints and tie rods. Autozone $415.00---Ford Dealer $475.00---XRF $545.00.


Thank you for your opinions guys. Appreciate it

 

XRF or Spicer for ball joints


Autozone for tie rods with lifetime warranty is my choice

 

I always use amazon.

Theyre normally cheaper by a long shot and I have prime so shipping is crazy fast.

 

Who has the best U joints? I have been reading that XRF doesn't have u joints. I did read on a cummins forum that Spicer U joints are good?? I'm really hoping that since my truck wont be a daily driver that I will only have to do this front end work one time!

 

I'd buy spicer and avoid any Chinese junk.

 

Well change of plans....Mark from XRF just got back with me and the XRF factory is in Taiwan. I called Brown Distributing and asked if it was to late to cancel my order, it wasn't so I cancelled it for now...or atleast till I can do some more research. I kinda looked at Dynatrac but when I saw prices I stopped looking. I guess I will get back on their site and do some reading.
