I installed my new wheel spacers today (1" performance tire and wheel- very nice) and did my normal checks of brakes and suspension while I had the wheel off- my lower ball joint pass side is bad.

I found Moog joints for about 30 each- my question is do these have zerks on them? Is Moog the OEM supplier. Anything better- TRW?

Also what parts do I need besides the joints themselves- should I replace the pinch bolt(upper) and snap ring, nut on the lower- do they come with the joints? Its been years !! since I replaced a joint(old Jeep) so not fresh in my mind:D

Thanks
 






I also am in need of Ball joint information. So I'll just tag along on this thread.
 






Make sure you get a new snap ring with the upper ball joint. Mine snap ring broke when I tried to get it off. Most upper ball joints do not come with new snap rings, and I could'nt find just the snap ring, so I bought another that included it. I don't remember the brand.
