Got the Moog lower ball joints in over the weekend. Huge improvement. No more pulling and popping. Has anyone else put a set in yet?

Moog lower joints

I've been out of it here for awhile (too darn busy for my own good) so I have no idea what Moog ball joints are, are they supposed to be something; way special. ?? I've been getting a lot of wander on my '99, would this help that? I ordered a Borgeson last nite, anybody tried one of those? I can't stand how it's been acting lately, getting to be work herding it down the road. . .

On the 2000 and up DC went with riveted in upper and lower ball joint and due to cost cutting deleted the grease zirks. Until the Moog joints came out last month the only fix for worn out joints on a 2wd was to replace the complete lower control arm. As you can imagine that is a very expensive option that will just wear out because you can't grease them. Moog has had the ones for the 99 out for sometime. Have a front end shop check your alignment, ball joints and tire rod ends

Thanks for response...

I hear that advice, and I am getting an alignment, I know a truck alignment shop that is real good. I did get new OEM wheel bearings, and I purchased LUKE'S LINK (but haven't installed it yet).

It just feels a little too loose. This MOOG BALL JOINT sounds like a real treat! I'm going to do a google on it now, maybe MOOG has a web site.

You say they are the CAT'S MEOW???
