Which ball joints

97strokerHD · Mar 13, 2015

Looking for suggestions on good ball joints that will last a while and not break the bank. My truck is lifted 6" with a 60 swap and 37s and has already torn up 5 month old ball joints.

I've always had very good luck with moog, but I've always heard good things about dynatrac. May try them next if and when mine goes out.

I'm trying out xrf s. All three chassis made close to 200k on the stockers, but the xrf were $125 /set of four. Their warranty is a million miles, whatever that means, lol. Well see.

Dynatrac!!! They are beast mode for ball joints.

Agreed. I have a combination of 200k on 3 sets of them without one failure. Wish I could says the last set of moogs even last 1/4 that

I'm definitely not doing moogs any more. Put moogs in it May of 2013 and it feels like they're shot already and making that ball joint popping sound. Either going back to oem or trying something different. My brother went with XRFs and his are fine.

Moogs quality has gone down the toilet in the past 10-15 years

I did dynatracs also, very nice ball joints, almost too pretty to install

I know, Every time I grease them I clean them off because I feel bad that such a thing of beauty is getting so dirty.

Thanks for all the input guys. I like the dynatracs but they seem so expensive. I think I might go with the xrfs. Everyone seems to like them.

well i have always said you get what you pay for.. a lot of times its the torque spec procedure that saves the ball joint... but, lots of guys are doing good with xrf and i always try to use oem products when it comes to suspension/drivetrain products or better...

How does everyone think the xrf ball joints will hold up with my lift and tires? Tired of ball joints lasting less than a year.

jimdawg185 · Oct 29, 2015

Seem to be holding. Get a hold of our 3752, that will help too. You won't find a better chassis grease. I went full retard with the dynatracs... I now polish my ball joints so people can see them shiny things. Works of art.

I wish I could get the dynatracs but they're so expensive. Did you run xrfs on a stock or lifted truck?

jimdawg185 · Oct 29, 2015

No, but many of my super duty buddies have... I only run the dynatracs. The keys is use a good grease and grease the things according to your application. Larger tires, dirty environment, wet environment, need more grease than a road queen truck.

One of my most loyal customers is a local off-road shop. The have basically eliminated ball joint, terra flex joint, and drive line issues switching to be our 3752. I almost feel dickish about talking about grease. But it just works... If you put it in there...

How much is a tube for a grease gun? Can I use it for suspension components, and trailer bearings?
