My ball joint fiasco...

[JAG1]

Since this job can be a tough one I want the best ball joints I can get. Been reading a lot in searches and the Dynatrac seems to have the best reports over moog and even Carli brands. Carli does not make them for the 2002 Ram and the dynatrac site does not say anything about them except 03 and up years:shrug:.So what brand is best everyone? There is another good one too called XRF brand, I believe, so any infopinions are greatly accepted around my question. Thanks a bunch:).

I got crazy and bought the cheapest joints off of RockAuto.Com... (No joke!)

this thread had me laughing the whole time. i feel your pain though, we did the ball joints and steering box on my buddys o2 and holys*it balls was it rough. i broke down last july and took mine to schwabbys to get fixed. i needed new rubber anyways but 3800$ later had fresh tires and a brand new front end:ahhh: i did purchase my stabilizer and put it on in about half an hour. that thing drives like a dream now. speaking of that. any of you guys run the lukes link? i was running that before the rebuild and it seemed to do pretty good with moderate adjustments every once in awhile.

I used Moog in mine. I guess only time will tell if it was a smart choice or any better than the cheapies that Mike bought. They are still holding up well after 20k.

I also went with MOOGs from Rockauto.com, as well as hub bearings. I coated the hell out of the mating surfaces with Bostik pure nickel anti-sieze.
