Ok everyone Im getting up there on sets of ball joints. I keep blowing out these things. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? Ive heard things like changing the control arm angles with a lift kit to changing out the spindles and steering knuckles to a newer one out of a 98 or newer blazer. Im lost and cant afford a sas swap nor do I have the ability to do something of that magnitude. I don't want to sell this car but I don't know what else to do.

 

What suspension mods have you done? Any modifications that throw the suspension out of factory specs has the potential to wear parts out quicker. Also what brand ball joints are you using.

 

yeah curious as to what brand. i used to wear out autozone ball joints about yearly. but i was always doing a lot of offroading and had 38 inch tires

 

I havent done anything other than tires and they are factory size. I run around up in the hills alot but never really wheel it too hard. I usually run the moogs but eating em like it is they got kind of expensive to just be throwing them away like i have been. So i went to autozones lifetime warrenty ball joints so i dont have to keep paying for them. I wanyed to do the rough country lift but the ball joints are pressed in which worries me and the angles on the control arms makes me wonder if it would help or worsen my problem. Ive owned the car about 2 years and ive probably done about 15 sets of the damn things so im.not sure whats goin on. I know they are being put in right.

 

Ive heard about Moog offering a problem series biut i dont know if that would actually help. They cost an arm and a leg amd it would suck to see those blow out.
