Question Aftermarket Ball Joints?
Hey guys, hope everyone is well. Ford said my lower ball joints are shot. Is there a superior alternative to the stock units?

Thanks,
Anthony

Moog is a good name. I think you get what you pay for and they have grease fittings. I don't think Fords replacements have fittings.

oem ones are sealed, zero maintenance required. ones with zerks, require greasing periodically.
