BALL JOINTS: Sankei 555 (Moog/Raybestos) Poor Quality/Design Flaw??? My Findings...

I can't say for certain if you are over reacting or if the BJs are bad.

I CAN tell you however that I've been running the ones Advanced sells, and havent had any problems. I believe they're the Moog ones...

Nothing beats OEM, however. If I had the cash to buy the OEM ones, I would have.

How did your Lower Ball Joints hold up?

Until folks start measuring the play and have results repeatable it's really hard to do a proper analysis. Plus depending on if the rigs have stock size rims and tires along if heavy off roaded vs on road only is another factor.

Tim did a video on how to check for ballpoint play. We do have lots of threads of offroad and over-sized joints snapping. Do we have lots of these snapping with normal road use with less then 100k on those lower joints?

I’m going to remove the tierod and do a pull test with my fish scale. It be nice if someone with new OEM joints did the same thing.
