Would you still recommend them? Are you still happy with them? I need new joints in the near future. Thanks.

88K on mine. I just pulled the brake rotors to grease the hub bearings and the joints are still tight. Mine have the lower greasable ones.

Thanks for the replies. Im getting some conflicting info about whether these ball joints are still available in a greaseable version? Does anyone know? Thanks.

I did...still waiting for a reply, so I thought it would be no big deal to ask here in the meantime?

Although I only have a few thousand miles on mine, they seem to be really good.....and non-greasable.

I have 106K on my factory ones and plan on them lasting a while longer. I grease them with a needle through the rubber boot. under what conditions are you guys killing them at such low mileage?

I have no idea how you are getting yours to last??????? It's definitely no secret around here and on other dodge truck forums that the front end components and possibly the entire design of the front end is absolute crap. If it wasn't for the fact that I can not pull myself away from the Cummins engine I love so much in my truck, I would be driving a different brand or a truck with IFS.
