Re: ball joints?
I just installed MOOG LBJ and UBJ from Summit.
MOOG LBJ looks good. Boot rubber looks and feels better than Perfect Circle LBJ I installed in 2006. I like MOOG boot grease over flow design for street application; maybe not for serious off road because it has grease vent which may take on muddy water when forging rivers. Suppose it'd be ok if greased after playing in some muddy water. Perfect Circle had a manufacturing defect which caused premature wear and boot dry rotted premature. MOOG press fit area is ribbed unlike OEM. I suppose rib could come in handy if LCA is a little loose. Don't know if ribs will wear out LCA faster.
MOOG UBJ has a nice boot as well. The 4 bolts have enough slop for about 0.5 degrees camber adjust; unlike the nearly press fit OEM rivets. So far the UBJ is staying put; I painted around UBJ for movement tattle tell.
MOOG tie rod end boots look and feel very nice; has MOOG logo.
