BJ Recall: Do YOU think these joints are good?

[Marlon_JB2]

I just wanted to see who thinks this will be the last time we wil have to go through this.

I was told by a tech they are the exact same ball joint. They just have a better seal to prevent water from entering. So who know. Glad I put my MOOGs in along time ago.

I didn't vote. My answer would be "I don't know"

But now I have new lbj's and time will tell.

The dealer told me that they were an up-graded part. I looked and noticed that the color of the boot was different. Anyway, I hope they didn't just change the boot color.

I'm also gonna say I don't know

Still too early to tell for me...as i've only had them in all of what, 3 days?

I like the change in the performance of the steering these new ones give....didn't realize my old ones were that shot.

I certainly hope this is last time i'm going through this...don't want to have to go through all that bull crap again....although i'm switching dealers after this latest incident.

Eddo...

Eddo, was the tech talking about the DC replacement LBJ seals or the Moog K3199's? I've heard the Moogs are Heavier Duty. Can't believe I'm having to replace BJ's on a "new" Jeep! Kinda miss that tough SFA.
