I used Raybestos Pro Grade Series parts to replace all of my ball joints and outer tie rod ends. OffTrac used the next level up on his (not made yet when I did mine a couple months prior) I abuse my rig and haven't had any issues with them, regularly grease the fittings before and after every trail run and oil change. I always suggest replacing both sides at the same time if the funds are available to do so.

hey man,, what do you know about this one..

MEVOTECH Part # TXK8695T Terrain Tough Ball Joint
Front Lower
looks like a really good one..

They look great for HD use, although only one post searching Mevotech TXK8695T. My biggest gripe with the extremely popular Moog K8695T Problem Solver replacements are failed dust boots. Pics shown are after two years of street only use, the ball joints are still tight. Installed properly, not overfilled, and the boots are not available separately. The ES poly replacement boots are slip fit and don't seal well. Give the Mevotech TTX lowers a try and post some feedback. GL
