XRF ball joints? Anyone here use them?
Its ball joint time again!
Been looking at different manufacture's and stumbled on these XRF's. Haven't seen a bad review on them yet.
And both uppers and lowers have zirk fittings. Was gonna get the Spicers but the lower's don't have grease fittings.
I ruled out Moog.
Anyone here try or hear about these XRF ball joints?

I'm also going to swap out the hubs (327K originals) with Timkens.

Just had these XRF ball joints installed today. All 4 were extremely tight out of the box. Around a $150 for the set.
They have a million mile warranty...we'll see.

Wow! Nice deal!!! I just did mine and man was i a b....! Went through two ratchets, wait for parts and then again another day for a tool. I do have a bj press just not top dollar one. OLD ones coming out(HOLY MOLY). So it was a fight all the way around. On top of that sicker than a dying dog. Was first and second time doing. Originally i got omix-ada, but after installing the top ones no good for my jeep. So sent them back. For 3$ more found Spicers and they work sweet. Wish I got the MILLION MILE warranty though

My first choice were Spicers but the lowers didn't have grease fittings.
The XRF's have grease fittings on uppers and lowers.
Researched these on-line and couldn't find hardly any bad reviews.
XRF makes ball joints for trucks so that along with the grease fittings and kick *** warranty sold me. Counting down on the million miles though!
I've always used MOOG chassis parts years ago but apparently their quality control went down the toilet lately based on on-line reviews.
By the way, getting too old to install ball joints anymore, bad back.
Had a trusted Jeep technician who also owns a XJ install them.
He installed them along with new hubs, calipers, pads, alignment and hoses in under 4 hours.
Would of taken me a week, bottle of muscle linament, few cases of beer, bandages and even more skinned knuckles shed for my Jeep. lol
If anyone is interested in buying the XRFs, this is the place to get them.
They got the best price that i've found.
