    Moog makes very good, better than OE, quality ball joints.

        I need to do my passenger side too, off -2degrees. Talk to Brett at Off Road Werk (805)642-8400, he carries Spicer...we should have a joint party (ball)

          Anyone know a ballpark price on changing out the ball joints? I was told I,d say about ayear ago that my passenger front was going and if I remember the price was crazy I think between 600.00 to 800.00 bucks gotta be all labor huh? Thanks ya,ll....Geeb..or maybe I,m confused again..lol

              Whats funny I bought some duralast liftime warrenty wj lower balljoints at autozone. They were repackaged dana joints. Not sure on the one for a tj. I did buy a complete set of dana spicer for a tj on ebay for about $112.00 though.

                With a good ball joint installer (OTC) and a half way decent 1/2 impact and a good size hammer to knock the balljoint studs loose, it should not take more than a couple of hours to change all four.

                  I second what aw12345 just said.

                  But you could also head to autozone and rent their balljoint press and make your life even easier still.

                  www.stu-offroad.com has a great writeup on doing the balljoints.

                    I'm sure you can get whatever you need here:

                    I think Kragen can order you the Moog Ball Joints.

                        anyone used the offset upper ball joints? seems like a good way to get around rotating the inner C's (for now)
                        An XJ will always cost you less then any girl ever will, and you will always know when the spark is gone.

                              I said if you can pony up some more coin :-)

                              Yeah I can get dana spicer stock replacements for I think 50$ a side.
