Ball Joint Replacement Time

Hey guys,

I need to change out my ball joints, where are you getting yours from and approximate price? Here in so. California there seems to be a huge price difference in price, is there some manufactures that are that much better than other?

thanks!

Re: Ball Joint Replacement Time

I just did upper and lowers on both sides. I bought Moog and all 4 added up to about $150.

Re: Ball Joint Replacement Time

Make sure you get the Moogs, which have grease fittings. Most others do not, don't waste your time with any that you can't grease.

None of the auto parts chains had greasable joints available (they aren't "cheap") I went to a small store and they ordered them in for the same day.
