Replacing upper +lower ball joints

Question, if u were replacing the upper and lower ***** joints and U- joints while I have it exposed, (92 bronco 351 4x4) what brand of parts would u put on there if it was your truck. I heard that some parts are better than others and i was trying to find out which are the longer lasting parts. Thanks

i would put moog. i worked at oreillys for a while and some of the cheaper brand stuff had poorer machined quality. ive had a few returned u-joints where they were visibly unaligned and some ugly looking tie-rods and such. and precision for the u-joints. dont shop at autozone those guys are whack.

Yea Autozone parts are crap, last year April i bought a starter from there. Six months later I had to buy a new one . This time I went to NAPA and got the starter. So far so good. Yea, i will look at the Moog parts online see what the prices are .

A friend of mine runs a Minute Muffler and he recommends nothing but Moog. He outfitted his 67 Beaumont with Moog parts when he rebuilt it and it's his drag car. I haven't had any problems with the Moog parts I've put in my Broncos.

Moog. I, in fact, just bought a set from Summit Racing since I'm regearing and will have the front all apart soon. If I remember the total was about $110 for all four (2-upper, 2-lower).
