Ball joints
Hi,
I need to change the ball joints on both sides, I found some on ebay, but dont know how good quality that is. Do you know about any brand what would you recomand to me? I need the metal insert and possible to lubrigate. Thanks

If you have a O'reillys in your town, stay away from their Master Pro and Also Moog balljoints!.
If anyone has ever looked, Master Pro and Moog both have the same damn numbers stamped on them, but in diffrent boxes and because of that, the moog box is more expensive.
Reason i say that about Master Pro and Moog is because i went through both sets under my Nissan within a month! First set was master pro, went ridin 1 time, and they got so loose one was about to come apart, O'reillys replaced them with the Moogs, took it ridin maybe 3 times, same damn thing happened to them. It wasnt because of ball joint angle or to ruff of wheeling either. Luckily i had a set of factory Nissan ball joints that had around 60k on them, still tight as new, put them in and been driving and wheeling the truck for over a year and ahalf now and they are still tight as a nuns box.
So after all that, i stay away from parts store balljoints. Spend a few extra dollars and get factory from the dealership.

I have a friend that works for a factory parts place, and she was able to get me a smokin deal on my factory replacements!! As for the grease fittings, IDK bout yours, but I could not put them in the lower BJs because of the axle u joint, so mine got the cap installed. Uppers have the fitting...
I did upper & lowers on mine. Used Moog problem solvers. Haven't had any issues at all. I do wheel mine pretty hard.I talked to a few different mechanics that I trust and they said go w/ Moog, so I did.Got them from www.rockauto.com. I've purchased many parts such as front wheel bearings,front diff bearing kit,and the list goes on. Very good prices on name brand stuff and shipped to my door in 3 to 4 days. I highly recomend them for any parts.
And what about Rugged Ridge - omix ada

What do you think about those. I can have it for a great price here.
