I do not know the part numbers, but the Spicer ball joints seem to be the best replacements for our axles.
Subscribed to get the correct part number.

No, i know spicer makes u-joints also, but i was wondering about the ball joints they make because i don't want to order the wrong ones online. I'm just looking for reassurance.

I totally understand what you mean. I really like MOOG suspension parts. I have never had an issue with them.

I bought the spicers. Moog was about double what I paid for spicers.

While I agree that MOOG is expensive, they also come with a lifetime warranty. I am not sure if the Spicer parts come with the same warranty.
