Re: Two different upper ball joints from O'Reilly?

I just went through this same issue, with what looks like the exact same joints! They came in identical boxes with the same part numbers. When I bought them I had to wait for them to be shipped overnight to the local store. I checked the part numbers to make sure they matched before I left the store. I got to the shop and installed one side then opened the other box to install the other side only to see that the joint was different. I called and they explained that one was just older stock than the other and according to their books they were interchangeable. I measured them, and they were identical. So I installed them. No issues at all. That kind of stuff just irritates the crap out me though! I'm not OCD, but I like things to be the way they're suppose to be.
