Both upper and lower need to be changed!
Where can I get the best priced Moog with the nipples?


Thanks!
Take a look at the dynatrac ball joints. If they go bad you can rebuild them.

www.dynatrac.com

They are going to cost you way more money $599.00, but have heard they are solid as the rock of Gibralter.
I spoke with Dan at extension 216.
Even though some like the moog with lifetime warranty, the RR time and money is not covered. JMHO

Also, make sure there is no rust accumulation between the hub and rotor. When I put my DAB rotors on, I sandblasted the hub area where the rotor makes contact.

I torque mine to 150lbs always!

Dem too expensive and if I maintain the moogs it should last awhile. Plus I did and will always do the balljoints myself cause they are so easy to replace!

I got at least 165K miles out of my original rotors!!! why can' they sell us something that is of the same quality? that' s what i want to ask ford. Maybe there is some kind of manufacturing defect and/or specification problem with the manufacturing specs for these after market (non Motrocraft) rotors????... frustrating!!!
