I have stuck to MOOG chassis components when I can - but that's based on many many years ago info. These days I trust Arie's judgement :)

whatever arie says.


borrow or bring the truck to my shop to use the M4 ball joint press.  will save you 4 hours of swearing and pounding on a C clamp style garbage press.

I used XRF ball joints in my truck but one got a little loose after 60k-ish miles. I replaced them with MOOG from AAP so that way I can get them warranted and replaced on my truck in a day. My HF ball joint press with HF's ball joint press adapter set work perfectly.
