Dana 50 TTB Ball Joints

[bike-maker]

I remember a thread on this, but can't seem to find it.........
I blew a tire out on the way home the other day, and while I had the front end up off the ground, discovered my ball joints are beyond toasted.
What are some good ball joints to use for replacements? Napa, Moog, and Motorcraft come to mind, but open to all suggestions. These things are ******* ball joints, and I only want to change them once.

how do you check them?

 

[Dieselcrawler]

jack truck up, grab top and bottom of tire and wiggle. if it moves, have someone watch the joints. if no movement in the joints, then your wheel bearings are loose. lol

i use moog. seem to be good on my truck. make sure you get i taligned after you get the ball joints put in or your camber will be out of adjustment in no time!

I could care less about a warranty, i just dont want them to fail, and MOOGS FAIL

I may be wrong, but it seems like the factory ones last a hundred thousand miles and the aftermarket ones last like 30-40 thousand. Diesel Brad has a line on some good hardware. I'd probably consider Motorcraft if I could not afford Brad's venue. Good luck.
