Best ball joints?
I have to replace the ball joints on my 04 F250 F. I want a real good joint, what do you guys like? I was thinking of MOOG or SPICER. ThanksX

I did mine with a set of NAPA's. Lots of guys talk about Moog and Spicer. I think as long as they're a decent brand and greasable you should be good to go.

I fix cars and trucks everyday and find that MOOG is the best. Even better than all the OE stuff. Stay away from the white box no name stuff! It's junk!

These guys make a very good ball joint and the prices are much less than
the two you mention. Website is lame, but if you call, the service is great.Ball Joints, Tie Rod Ends, Idler/Pitman Arms | XRF Steering and Chassis Parts

BadDogPSD I will see what they have. I am leaning towards the MOOG. Anyone know a cheap sorce to order them from? So far it looks like Rockauuto.com has the best. Still open to suggestions.

A friend which works at a local front end shop told me to go Moog, I'll be ordering a set within the next year before new tires go on.

I just had my ball joints replaced with MOOG "Problem Solvers" They're greasable and very heavy duty. Go with the MOOGS!!
