(wanting to keep all discussion on ball joints in one thread versus starting my own thread)
Recently, I experienced death wobble for the first time in my Jeep. And now, its a regular occurrence on the highway. Exactly where you want death wobble.
So, no more cheaping out (also because my Jeep has 120,000 miles on it and could use a front end rebuild). I will be replacing all steering related ball joints on my front end, and of course have my tires balanced once I am finished for the coup de grâce. I just need to order all of the parts:
I already have sitting in their boxes:
1) JKS adjustable track bar
2) Moog ZJ tie rod
3) Moog ZJ tie rod end
4) Generic drag link I bought a while ago from Amazon
What I need to buy:
1) Upper and lower ball joints - have this sitting in my Amazon shopping cart:
Spicer Ball Joint Kit; however, I wish that they were greasable. Could I get ya'll's thoughts on possible an alternative? Spicer is clearly the best of the best. However, it's frustrating that they don't have grease fittings built into them.
2) Drag link end - buy a Spicer? Can't find a Spicer on Amazon. Just buy a Moog instead?
3) Buy a new steering stabilizer for the heck of it?
Is there anything that i'm missing?
I would love to replace my hubs, u-joints, axle seals, etc. while i'm at it, however I am not ready to shell out that kind of dough.
