ball joints
 

Need to replace my passenger side upper ball joint. Should I just replace all 4?

Yes.. I would probably consider doing the tie rods, U-joints and other bushings while I was down there. If 1 ball joint is bad, the rest are not far behind. They did after-all get installed at the same time, and have the same amount of miles on them.

Ok perfect. Luckily, I changed the tie rods for the upgraded ones a few months ago. SO all 4 ball joints, any particular brand? OEM? Or what about rock auto? and is this a pain to install?

Don't cheap out. We have seen good results from alloy USA

I have Dana Spicer ball joints. They seem fine.. I figured the oem ones lasted 145k, and they were still fine when I replaced them. You'll need a ballpoint press. The one I have from hf works great.

I get most of my parts from Rockauto. Ball joint are not difficult. Just don't go cheap, get service grade or better.... It's not such an easy job you'll want to repeat it, anytime soon.

I used to use only Moog for replacement suspension parts, but the quality has gone down. I have had good luck with Raybestos ball joints.

Spicers are decent.. I have not had good luck with Moog ball joints. Just replaced mine with the alloy USA kit and they are nice. Love being able to greese the lowers. Pretty fairly priced too! (Come with all 4),

I've had Goodluck with my duralast ball joints. Lifetime warranty, they aren't terrible to do.
