Why are XRF Ball Joints NOT greaseable? How long are they lasting for you guys?

Time to do all four ball joints on the truck. I can get MOOGs cheap, but for a little bit more I can get XRFs...

But why are they not greaseable????? I was always under the impression that anytime you can grease something regularly, the longer it will last.

What makes these XRF joints able to last "1,000,000 miles"???

What type of customer service dept. do they have? Has anyone ever had any issues with the XRF joints? What kind of miles are you guys getting from them?


Thanks!

Can't comment on the XRF's, but search for "Moog" on the forum. Lots of reading, mostly about issues with handling and such when using the Moogs.

take a look at whats been out there a lot of ungreaseable parts last a long time not saying there the best but for what they do is pretty good. When they seal well it keeps water out ant grease in.

fyi

You can not compare the quality of the Moog ball joints to the XRF....Moog ball joints are junk & have a very short life cycle.

Don't get moog. If you really want some moog greasables, I'll trade you mine and split the price of the XRF's.

(this is a joke... don't get moog.)
