Unless its a 07-13 GM truck dash. Lawsuits, web pages, articles etc about those dashes cracking. Very hard to find one that is not cracked. You can buy a new one but it is exactly the same. No changes. Best to just install a Dashskin and live with it.
From the research I done, The 88-95 6 lug requires no grinding to the Astro/Safari AWD LCAs or the knuckle. The 96-99 6 lug arm and knuckle have to be ground. I believe in 96 GM changed the design of the arm and knuckle.
In no way shape or form I'm saying this is a fact. This is just my opinion...
To clarify, I did not say all lifts wear out ball joint. I said the cheap lifts.
If you just crank up the torsion bars to lift the front end OR you just install 3" keys to lift the front end.
I thought it was common knowledge that balljoints will fail prematurely if you do those type of lift...
I wonder if the studs in the plate are pressed in like most wheel studs are. I really don't see any benefit of a plate and studs. 1 tool to install instead of 2 tools. I've never seen or heard of an issue with the bolts and nuts. Maybe with low quality bj but I don't buy low quality parts. I...
From Mevotech's website. The warranty is not worth anything if you install them yourself. Ive read many reviews and found mixed reviews just like Moog. The TTX line seems to be relatively new so no high mile reviews. A patented new design. Easier install that might save me 2 minutes per side...
I just looked at all the different brands of balljoints listed on Rockauto. There is a lot. Please point out these companies/rebranded that Mevotech makes for them? I'm not seeing anything that looks like the TTX series.
I see some that might be Mevotech lower end series.
It is common practice...
Horror stories when people do the cheap lifts or mods to trucks that the ball joint is not designed for. Anyways I'm 57 and have had many trucks and cars and have had zero problems with Moog balljoints. Thanks anyways but I'll stick with that track record.
Moog, GM and ACDelco are know to last over 100k. But not if you crank up the torsion bars or just install 3" keys. You know the cheap lift that wears out ball joints quickly. Can anyone say that about Mevotech?
I kinda knew you were going to say Mevotech. I'm not sold on Mevotech being better than Moog especially long term. Maybe if I planned on jumping the truck but that bolt bracket is nothing but eye candy. I have never seen a CA break there or ever heard of one breaking unless it was jumped or hit...
