Pick out new Ball Joints
Hey there fellow Ford Heads 
I think it's about time I replace my ball joints... So I jumped over to the Moog Website to see about ordering them up and getting them here for a weekend project, but of course ran into a small hiccup....
The website gives me 2 options for upper ball joints, one for Dana 50 and one for Dana 60.
I tried doing some googling, but keep coming up with conflicting answers.Some sites even say that NO EXCURSION ever got a dana 60 front end.
Mine is a 2002 with the 7.3l if that helps.
Can you guys help give me a little direction?

Excursion's and 99-00 F250/F350 all had Dana 50's up front.
I would skip the Moog and go with some Spicer joints and seals. Verify kit linked below will fit prior to ordering.

Moog quality is not what it used to be. I had a shop replace mine with Moog and 9 months later I replaced them again 
. Still used Moog but did it myself this time around. If I had to do them again anytime soon I'd consider going with a different brand.
