best lower ball joints/tie rod ends for stock FX4
Yep. My driver side UCA didn't fit so I thought we had to pound the bushing out but it just slid in and out with light tap. The one I got to replace it did not move at all and fit perfect. No more clunks. I haven't received my refund yet.
I've been nothing but pleased with moog. They're a lot better quality than the last 2 sets of tie rod ends and drag link ends i've had that lasted less than 6 months each.

I've had nothing but bad luck with moog lower ball joints. My truck - I can understand, I offroad a lot. But when you see them fail after 30k on a stock truck driven by a 60 year old, its dissapointing to say the least. For the amount of work it takes to replace the parts, I stick with oem lower balljoints. Even as rough as I am on equipment, I still get around 80k miles out of them.
I picked up a couple of new uca's today my nearest Moog 'authorized' distributor - O'Reilly AP. There is a subtle difference in the bushings. Just finished installing and the noise is gone.
The O'Reilly price was about $28 more for each arm.
If you think about it there's nothing stopping someone from purchasing a lot of defective name-brand parts and selling them through Amazon... lesson learned.

Hopefully Moog works well, I just bought some UCAs with bushings & serviceable ball joints a few weeks ago. About to buy their lower ball joints and have them installed in the OEM arms. Hopefully they aren't outsourced to China. Moog has had such a high reputation over the past few decades.
