I'm waiting on Spicer U-Joints for the front end, and figured that I may be replacing the ball joints as well (165K miles).

Need recommendations for some ball joints that will last. Not interested in cheapie Chinese parts
This '06 has a Cummins if that makes any difference in selection. I tried this site's useless search feature but got nothing.


Thanks!!

My memory is suffering but I'm pretty sure I had synergy joints in my '01.

Thanks for the replies. Ordered Moogs.

shock

I like the lifetime guarantee, but this is a daily driver that may be sold or traded off in a couple of years.
Besides, gotta save dough to get better coil-overs for the Dart rear

I’d a gone OE Mopar all day long! I’ve on more than one occasion removed Moogs and put in mopar. When you get done and if you have to continually correct your steering you will too.

Don't use Moog lower ball joints! I put them in my truck and the truck was hard to keep straight afterwards. I had to constantly correct the steering wheel, it felt like I was driving in heavy cross winds all the time. I changed them out to OEM Mopar lowers and the problem went away. The Moog's are made wrong and bind up with the weight of the truck on them.
