Ball joint woes!

i posted on this before about 6k miles ago they rplaced my ball joints, 4k later I had some front end issues so i took it back in and was told the lower ball joints were shot again, the shop put Moog ball joints in the truck, so the Rep for Moog sent new ones to the shop and payed to replace them, the shop owner and Rep flat out said Moog can make a good ball joint, so they go and replace them again 2k miles ago.

All i can say is Im disgusted, this is the best truck i ever had! it rattled like a P.O.S!!! I havent even been driving it because of the front end noise!! it sounds like a 25 year old P.O.S truck!! Im disgusted!

Is there any kind of part lemon law? LOL..kind of confused on what to do! guess i want to know whats the best ball joints for dodge then i was thinking of going in there and raising some hell!! i mean they admitted to putting junk parts in my truck!

XRF, Dynatrac or Carli anything else gets bad reviews. Everyone seems to like one of the three.

Is it common for Moog to pay for labor and parts when their ball joints fail? I had a mechanic install Moog bj's on my truck a year ago and the front end is making a klunk when I go over bumps. I suspect it is the bj's, but not sure and if they need to be replaced it would be great to get the labor paid for.
