Sorry, I got that backwards.

I was told by a HD mechanic of many years and the suspension guys who did the work that in general, lower ball joints rarely go, the upper ball joints are the ones that take the most punishment and fail first.

I assumed this was a correct fact for two reasons: Carli didn't even offer the lower ball joints at that time, and after 100,000 miles my uppers needed replacing and I was told the lowers were perfectly fine.

In all, I'd ask a dealership how often they replace lower ball joints on our model and year of truck. Who knows...maybe on our trucks they really are weak and should be replaced...and maybe there is some stability improvement as they say on the Carli website....offering to buy back the lower ball joints if you don't feel the improvement is quite the statement!
