Good ball joint brands

[Camar068]

May be replacing the ball joints on it. Currently have Moog on them that are ~7 yrs old if I had to guess. My noise may not be ball joints, just trying to plan ahead.

Question is, what brands are good? I've read that Moog has fallen off in quality. Dana's are only $5 more per joint higher than moog.

I did see that someone has them with the grease fitting on the side, no idea of the brand.

I'm seeing these brands on RA:

Dana (~$25)
Mevotech
Delphi
AC Delco
Moog (~$20)

Thanks In Advance

Moog "Problem Solvers" and Mevotech TTX stuff is great. The Moog Problem Solvers aren't always listed like that. Sometimes they say "metal gusher bearing". Been a while since I've even seen the plastic bushing Moogs. I have personal experience with both balljoints. I usually end up with Moog parts because I don't plan ahead. Those are pretty much always available locally for me. IMHO, stay away from plastic bushings where possible.

Looks Moog problem solvers have the grease fitting on the side.

I agree. Moog or Moog Problem Solvers, or Mevotech TTX.

New moogs have the fitting on the side for the top ball joint. 4wd. Very handy.
