fabtech ball joints
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">I have a 99 f150 w/ 4.2 that has a 3.5" fabtech control arm suspension lift and 3" body lift. Last week some lady hit me (nothing major) and upon getting repaired the insurance comany was going to cover an alignment. They called me today saying it could not be aligned due to the ball joints being worn and they were going to get me a quote from ford for the ball joints but it appears that they are aftermarket with the suspension lift and the factory ones would not work.
I was wondering if anyone could verify this. Does it just so happen that only fabtech ball joints work with their lifts/control arms or would one from ford be fine because it seems like im going to have a hell of a time trying to get the fabtech ball joints if thats the case.
I accidently placed this in the 4x4 forum to begin with...sorry.

The factory control arm and balljoint are 1 piece.Aftermarket control arms have replaceable balljoints (as you know).I'd contact Fabtech and see if someone else's balljoint will work (like Moog # K80017) or see if they have any warranty.
