Ball Joints

Hello everyone,

Happy Friday! I'm about to replace a few parts in my suspension (V10 4 x 4 Limited with 50,000 miles) including:

* Shocks
* Ball Joints
* Anti-sway bar bushings

For shock absorbers I'm going with Bilsteins. Do they make polyurethane bushings for the sway bar links? What's better than OEM balljoints out there? I don't mind spending a bit more for non-OEM as long as I don't have to be crawling under this heavy truck often.

Thanks for any input you guys/gals might have.

Have a good one.

Probably any BJ that can be greased has got to be better than OEM. I believe the poly sway bar bushings are available pretty much everywhere. I can't think of brand names right off-hand, tho.
My project for this weekend is exhaust manifold studs. Hope the weather holds out all weekend.
