Ball joint question

[first&lastKJ]

What brand lower ball joints do you use? Moog seems to be the most common.
I checked mine and there is no play but the boots are torn so I will be replacing them this spring.

Upper ball joints are not replaceable unless you have the JBA UCAs
If stock have to replace the whole arm

Yes I knew that. Just wondering about what brand Moog, OEM or ?.

I was just looking at the Moog lower ball joints. The grease zerk is on the side. The Auto Zone lowers I put on the 02 had the zerk on the top. When I installed them the zerk hit on the cv axle. I had come up with another solution to get them installed.

Wrong ball joints, you installed the ones for a 2 wheel drive
4 wheel has the grease fitting at an angle on the side
Of course from Autozone.......

So for the upper control arms what is the go to brand. Other than the JBA's which are obviously the best.

Someone hopefully will jump in and help you out.
I only use the JBAs since he has them for lifted and unlifted ,

I bought JBAs for unlifted Libbys. They actually were the same price (or just a couple $ more) as the cheap ones from the LAPS, but have replaceable, greasable ball joints.
