    I purchased detroit lower ball joints and have since found out they will not hold up to off-roading? Which ones should I buy?

    I just bought Moog... anyone have disparaging words before I eventually have them installed? I always thought of Moog as an OEM or better brand.

    I believe Proforge are highly regarded. Currently have Dorman LCA with Premium XL BJ's, an unknown brand, cheap and non-greasable. This was a temp fix while I took my time refurbishing my OEM LCA's. which will have Moog BJ's.

    Your too funny but I get it. Amazing how so many just want to throw darts instead of helping.

    Turns out it was not my ball joints squeaking but im happy with the new ones installed. Has anyone ever heard of a the front coil wearing through the rubber dampener and making a squeaking noise?
