Anyone have a place to get them, I checked with the local stealer and they wanted $238 EACH! I can't justify spending almost 1K for ball joints for a Dana 60. Everywhere I check they can't get them or they are on back order, I do have a TRW and Moog part numbers, but no luck.

How many miles before they needed replacement?


Try this place
Quad 4x4 (http://www.quad4x4.com/)


$195 for all four or $285 with tools

Thanks Hoot, I'll give it a try, I have about 60,000 on my truck now but I go 4 wheelin quite a bit, lift and 37" don't help either. My last alignment showed almost 1 degree of negative camber. How long should it take to do them? Thanks. How's the 04' so far?

Well I gave Quad 4x4 a call and they have them in stock, the whole set is only $195 w/free shipping! I can't thank you enough, hopefully I can return the favor, I have been searching high and low. Kinda funny, they told me that the Dodge ball joints are their best sellershttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif well thanks again Hoot!

I've never done ball joints before. Should take a full day from other peoples experiences. The 04 has been great. Only 4000 miles so not alot to go by.
