My 2WD truck needs some new ball joints and looking for opinions on quality parts. I have had this truck for 25 years and plan on keeping it so I want to get good parts. Any suggestions or personal experiences good or bad would be appreciated.

Thanks, David

I'll second Moog. They have zerks of course. My joints weren't really worn out, the flimsy rubber boots tore and was allowing FOD.The moog boots are much more heavy duty.

Not sure on a Ram but Moogs on super duty’s we’re having problems with memory steer Perfect Circle did not have the issue and were better quality was told Ford replacements went to perfect circle for dealer replacements from a Ford tech

So factory parts lasted 25 years and you guys suggesting something different??

This is gonna sound crazy, but have you investigated having these ball joints replaced under warranty? I know, that is a heck of a long time ago, but it is a safety issue. Some of those have no time limit, and those particular ball joints are infamous for this one. I had mine replaced for no charge after ten years and I wasn't even the original owner. Take care.

Get the c clamp tool kit for the dodge. Can probably rent it. I had to do my 3500 2wd twice..
That was with the good joints with the zerks too.

Service truck with 300K on the meter.

If factory parts were still Mopar I would say absolutely use them but lemme is going to be rebooted moog or perfect circle just like Fords are now
