Moog have lifetime warranties.

Moog have lifetime warranties.

Lifetime warranties are not worth a hill of beans if they keep going out and your truck is down when you need it. Also remember that the warranty only covers the part itself and not the time to put them in.

I would be looking at why the ball joints keep going out. Larger than stock tires and a lift are two of the major problems that will cause ball joints to self destruct.

Got mine from jbg. Best deal I could find. Came out cheaper than the cheapest parts store brands.

That is true.

I think they have been going out because I bought cheap parts off of rock auto. Going to school full time with 5 kids and a full time job makes it a little tough. Are there any better tie rod ends out the that are better than moog?

I use the genuine ford ball joints (do not get the motorcraft). Not the same quality

Ford doesn't make ball joints or any other part for your vehicle. They farm it out to different manufactures that bid on what it would cost to build them to Ford's specifications.

This week it may be Moog, next week it could be Splicer, the week after that who knows.

a lot of issues are from not torquing them propper.. always find the manufacturers tq specs regaredless of what ford says.. good grease or grease them often and they last better.
