09 Ball Joints

[shotgunfatcat]

Is there an aftermarket place I can get ball joints for the 09 front end?

I don't want to pay 70 dollars a piece for something that wears out so easily.

Maybe something better than stock?

check out Sled Toyz...site sponser and moderator extraordiner Crewchief sells a fix.

CrewChief is okay but in the States contact NCI at info@northcoastinnovation.com. That guy is way more awesome - and better lookin'.

D'oh, sorry artee....I didn't even look to see if he was a Canadian or American...my bad....

Thanks, contacted NCI. Hopefully I hear back soon!

I heard the same thing about him looking better, but am not gay so didn't judge.

Hey! He's the guy without a video on his website. Maybe we should ask him to post one so we can start a poll......

Enjoy the Kit!

Well my ball joints are mushroomed out, so the balls are shot. I am going to have to buy stockers for now. Down the road when I need the races replaced I will know where to go now.

Mushroomed balls are not good.

Have you removed the balls from the races yet? Generally the balls are pretty tough and it's the races that crap out. If the balls are not deeply grooved or flat-spotted they might be okay. If there's any doubt, you're right to go with a new OEM set.

I will check again when I go home, I will have to make sure there isn't any play in the spindles.
