Which Balljoints to get for DJM?

XRUNNAH808 · Sep 10, 2014

Wondering if I should buy new OEM balljoints or Moog Balljoints for the upper and lower control arms.

Just did this u can't buy oem ala cart. U have to buy entire control arm roughly about $700 per side. Just go to advance auto and get moog. They Come w a lifetime warranty and only about $200 for all 4

Have they caused any problems? Did you buy em locally or online? I'm from Hawaii btw

I just used a local auto store because if I had an issue I could replace them quickly without having to wait for the parts to be mailed

The moog "Problem solver" ball joints have a junky outer cover/seal. The grease can come right out. The Raybestos brand are very nice with their urethane cover which it wire banded on, and greasable.

I bought the Moog K80827 and K80811 from Rock Auto. No problems here.

Do you know what is the estimate cost of buying a set? I need it for my upper and lower.

How much did you pay for your ball joints?

xrunrob · Sep 11, 2014

I bought a whole kit off eBay. They where cheap price wise but built great. And grease able. Been on the truck for almost 2.5 years or more and no problems at all.

Did it come with moog ball joints?

Whats the whole set price for Moog Ball Joints on RockAuto? Confused to buy, because is it $25-$30 each ball joint, so that would mean I'm paying around $150 I guess for all balljoints, including shipping.

I paid $180 for all 4. I got locally like I said in case I had an issue I could get it warranted ASAP

I'm gonna have to call napa or o'reilly tomorrow, cause they said they didnt have, but it's probably the year of the vehicle and x-runner, because they said it wasn't available.

I have a trick for getting the boots on. Super easy. Take the boot to Lowes and buy yourself a PVC pipe adapter or T-fitting that the boot fits snuggly inside.

(Not our truck but same concept)

I think I got a 1" piece but it's been 2 years so I'm not positive. Put the boot inside the pipe and put that down on the ball joint that was pressed into your A arms. Give the piece of pipe, now sitting on the ball joint, a slight whack or two with a mallet and it should go right on. Probably didn't take me more than 15 minutes to get mine put on and that was with some testing of different pipe pieces.

KK Thanks man, but I'm gonna get my balljoints pressed in at a local shop, although thanks for the reply when I PM you.

You'll still have to put the boots on if you get the ball joints pressed in at a shop. All the shop will do is put the metal ball joint into the A arm.
