make sure you use anti seize on all bolts and nuts so when you do it again they come off easy.....

I have AC Delco. They are greasable. I installed them about six months ago and have been happy with them so far. I ordered them online. Can't remember the website, but I look it up and let you know if you're interested.

I went with OEM because I got a great deal.
Funny thing is the top ones are greasable now. The bottom are sealed.
Both are different than what I took out so I hope they last longer.

Based on what others said about them, I ordered some from XRF. They are fairly inexpensive and are designed for extreme duty. www.xrfautoparts.com Not much info on the website and you have to call to order, but the service was fast.

I don't have time to do the work myself the truck will go to a shop that I trust to do the job. I can do 90% of the work on my truck but when you have a full time job I have no time.

The shop is really busy so I hope they can get my truck in and out in one day. I'am good friends with the mechanics so I think there shouldn't be a problem.

97 ford F250HD 4x4 was told by ford and a front end shop that the ball joints were fine I told them it seem to me that the ball joints were bad I replace all the rubber bushing with urethane bushing still had the feeling the ball joints were bad. So after doing the bushing I bought the ball joints and replace them myself not that big of a deal the knocking out of the lower one is the worse. Replace them with Moog ball joints and could tell the difference right away. the old ball joints were not total but were not all the tight either the upper seem worse then the lower ones so that may be why it hard for a shop to find a bad ball joint. Glad I did it and save a lot of money.
