Ball Joints

I'm gonna break down and do the ball joints. Are there aftermarket or racing ball joints that are more durable than OEM?

Quick answer - NO.

Now there may be some brands (Moog) that are better than others, but other than that, there are none specifically marketed for better life or higher strength.

RE: Ball Joints

Moog makes about the best parts, and NAPA typically sells the best parts. You get what you pay for in parts. Lower quality usually means it costs less to buy.

RE: Ball Joints

i believe napa suspension parts are made by moog. and yes, moog is the best. thats what i use in my race car.

there are lots of places to cheap out, but suspension/steering components arent one of them.
