Question best ball joints for my 04 - 4x4
Who makes the strongest heavy duty ball joints (control arm) for these 2004 F150's

I'm leaning towards moog right now.

MOOG is the only way to go IMO

Those are Moog. They just have a deal to use the name. It still says Moog on the box as well.

Anything "top shelf" at the parts stores will be fine. Just avoid the cheap value lines.

Moog, Dana, and TRW all make great chassis parts.

I believe the originals are actually TRW. I recall seeing the logo on the bottom of the lower ball joint.

Not really true. Modern lubricants are excellent, and grease fittings improperly used are an entry point for dirt, which will end the life of the part prematurely.

That's why you always wipe of the fitting with a clean rag prior to greasing ...
