Ball joints? Brands?

[00XLS]

I'm going to be doing lower ball joints tomorrow, I was wondering what everyone uses? I know Moog are good, anyone using TRW? I've been told their similar, TRW also has a lifetime warrenty.

TRW sound like the best bet then Your's going squeeky too?

Iv always used mevotech, but they need alot of grease i find or they squeek like hell then their finished

Moog all the way. No exceptions. TRW does not have a grease zurk.

Use NAPA parts; they'll never let you down....

TRW Lowers do have a grease zerk, but are made in China

I noticed it had the zerk fitting, which I was pleased with, not crazy about the china thing tho, hope there is no lead paint. Thanks for the responses, next project is shocks...

Just don't chew on the ball joints.

Moog or Mcquay-norris are the only way to go with ball joints. Both have grease fittings and are good quality product.

I would not get hung up on having a grease nipple for the ball joints. The sealed ball joints have a long life, maybe longer than the ones with the zerk. You have to grease those on a regular basis or they will wear quickly. I would be surprised if any aftermarket ball joint with a grease fitting lasted longer than the Ford OEM, although they would be much cheaper...
