I tried the cheap stuff. all four ball joints and steering from rock autos cheaper line. The first drive I took in my newly painted 3500 end like this.



The lower ball joint completely separated, causing the lower control arm to slam into the asphalt and the tire to jam up into the fender. keep in mind this was a brand new ball joint. It had 3 miles on if that. Im only greatful it broke while I was almost stopped, and not running 60 mph



So not only did I buy the cheaper ball joints and tie-rods I had to re-buy all new Moog suspension and steering cause, I couldn't trust the other stuff I had in there so it all got replaced.
wow what kind of brand dis you use?
