ball joints what the heck - Page 4

millco · 08-25-2008, 03:00 AM

You guys got a lot more miles out of your ball joints. All four of mine had to be done around 10,k. A friend of mine here has the same truck and his had to be done at 500 miles. He experienced the 'death wobble' and nearly lost his truck!
I don't think the oem stuff is all that great. But, then that opens the door to us making it better, now doesn't it?

I have them (Carli HD BJ's) on for month or so now. I don't think I will ever have to change them out again!!

About 5and a half,they come with a tube of synthetic grease that should last longer than the truck.
