Are all Ball Joints equal.

Are there differences in ball joint manufacturers? Is one better than the other? If so, who do you recommend? Not to worried about cost.

Thanks for you time,
Greg

I'd go with OE stuff from FORD. That's what I did anyway.

Well. TRW makes many of the after market parts which is what I have. No problem with them so far. Lifetime warranty from AZone. Also, note that the TRW part uses a siliconized rubber rather than the original black. A cracked dust seal is what causes the ball joint itself to go out. So the seal is almost more important than the steel.

MOOG also makes good lower ball joints, they are greasable too and should outlast the oem ones.

Everyone, thanks for the responses. I'll look for a ball joint that has a silicon type of boot.

Thanks again for your time.
