Question ball joint upgrade??

did my homework and found the the moog ball joint is the best replacement part for the lower ball joint.

I am wondering if anyone knows of an upgrade in this situation. (besides going to a long travel kit).
Does anyone know if their is a kit to swap to a mono-ball or uni-ball??

my opinion always is when something breaks you upgrade not replace.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you find a Moog replacement lower ball joint only, not with the whole knuckle? All I could find was the whole lower BJ/Knuckle for around $200 each.

MOOG K80149 will get you just the ball joint. Rock auto has them.
