best ball joints and ujoints

[chevyfox]

What are the best ball joints and ujoints to get and where?

 

[VAL]

MOOG, Rockauto.

When MOOG offers a "problem solver" part, buy it. They make them because there is a problem with the original design, and their "upgraded" part usually solves the problem.

I did their "Problem Solver" lower ball joints in my C10.

Sent from the dust in front of you!

My entire front end is Moog (upper and lower ball joints, idler arm, pitman arm, tie rods, bushings, etc), still rides nice and tight 2 years after the fact. I've heard horror stories with the cheaper ball joints, including one where a guy literally took his fully restored truck out for its first spin, and he busted a brand new cheapie balljoint and crushed the fender on the passenger side when it dropped onto the tire/rim.

Like foamypirate, I had Moog everything put in, except I had it done 5 years ago, on a K10 with a 2" front lift. No change in five years.

Moogs. Put 'em in once, and forget about 'em.

What all moog parts should I consider for my 86 k10 suburban?

 

[rich weyand]

Upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends, for sure, and probably steering stabilizer and swaybar bushings as well.

 

[robert8096]

Moog all the way.

 

[MadOgre]

The best ball joints are the ones you don't have to change

 

[flyboy1100]

Definitely
