I have Moog ball joints in both of my cars. I've got maybe 15k on the one set and they are already clunky. I replaced them because I was replacing control arm bushings, but the originals were in better shape than these are.

Has anyone had simlar results? I see that FWD-P sells Falken joints now. Are these any better?

Nevermind...found the thread on TD.com. The NAPA heavy duty is the way to go, I guess.

If it means anything to you, I am big into lowriders and all the hopper/dancer guys use Napa heavyduty. They all say they are prettymuch unbreakable. If a 3 ton car can hop 4 feet with 5 ton train springs in it thats good enough for me.

Moog aka Federal Mogul is in recievership so that means no money to upgrade the product line.

That just means they can gut the pension fund to retool. Their former factory in St. Louis is right next to the toxic waste site of Wagner brake.(asbestos) Ah for the good ole days. They can also negate any lawsuits. Sorry Russ, you is sol.:confused:
