Curious if these are good quality or not. Need to replace some parts and figured I might as well swap everything

^^^ What he said. Moog only if you plan on keeping the truck. Anything if you are selling it immediately.

I am a huge Moog fan as well. But I've got to admit that these Mevotech Terrain Tough lower ball joints have me intrigued. They look beefier than anything I've seen for these.

Hey White,
I've seen you mention these before. Have you used them or do you know anyone who has?

I agree, they look beefy, but it would be good to hear someone in here that has used them on our trucks.

BTW- I would also agree with the suggestions of using MOOG and in particular the Problem Solvers 'CK'. Yes I have used them and am very happy with them.

Not yet. My Moogs are still hanging in there on my F150. My Expy might be due quick though. I think they are OEM's and they have 201,000 miles on them. There are only 3 reviews on Amazon of their TTX line, and all 3 are a five star review.

BTW Cgrim, as BlackBull said, you want to use the Moog PROBLEM SOLVER parts. They have an R-Series which I believe is all Chinese junk.

(If the part number starts with RK - that is the Chinese stuff)

Chuck the Moog lower ball joints in the trash and go OEM on lower ball joints. Yea, they cost more, but you'll get roughly 80k miles out of them unlike the Moog crap.

As I recall, the OEM's are made by Spicer.
