Found this website http://www.worldsuspension.com/item....BRAND&weight=5 part numbers are for moog and every thing is pretty cheap. just thought id let everyone no

 

no way, i thought they were like 60-70 bones.

 

crazy prices dude!!

 

I would be VERY surprised if they were real "O.E. quality" as their ad states. Besides is it really worth risking your truck and your life by trying to save a couple of bucks on such a critical component like a ball joint?

Before you buy a set of non-Toyota ball joints, do a search here on Yotatech on ball joint failure and look at the pictures (and the carnage) in the postings.

I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to ball joints and buying Toyota, but I just don't wanna see anyone here post another thread about a wrecked yota or serious injury.

I learned this the hard way with an 85 nissan truck and no name ball joints. After 20K miles one of them popped loose when I went over a dip on the highway. I didn't get seriously hurt but came really close when the truck ALMOST flipped.

 

It doesn't say "O.E. quality", it says "O.E. Brand", which is the brand name.

Moog and O.E. Brand are not no names, they are very large manufacturers, and a very large portion of cars on the road go to get fixed at chain shops that exclusively use those brands. There is nothing wrong with those balls joints, especially if you live in one of those normal states that requires a yearly mechanical inspection (for those people that don't or don't know how to inspect their own vehicles).

 

yeah they just came in there not moog, sending them backkk

 

I am in full agreement with fogrunner.

Catastrophic failure of the ball joints has and does occur.

I have used aftermarket (inner) tie rod ends and can report no ill effects whatsoever. In my mind this is a slightly less critical part than a ball joint.

 

So would you all recommend Moog as a suitable replacement?

 

yes I read and hear good things about Moog.

Tires Plus used Moog parts from Auto Quest when my tie rod end could not be removed to be replaced-had to be torched off

 

There shipping costs are pretty steep! I just tried ordering a set of inner and outer tierods and the shipping was $20 bucks! I cancelled the order because I can get the tierods locally for almost as much when you figure in that shipping you get charged.

 

Just an FYI, 4Runner114 posted above that he ordered parts from this site and they were NOT Moog branded.
