Hi ppl. I was going through a visual check of the front suspension and I saw the front upper ball joints are leaking grease, and to replace them you need to buy the entire control arm. Do you guys know of a good aftermarket brand or if there is a kit to repair them? even to replace just the boot as the ball joints dont seem to have any play. thnx

I don't think there is a repair kit for the OEM control arm ball joints. There are some aftermaket complete arms with replaceable ball joints that look promising although there appear to be different arms for different amounts of lift, if any. I'll let other's comment on the various after market options and quality. JeepinbyAl and Rocky Road are 2 prominent custom arms with replaceable ball joints as opposed to cheaper OEM equivalent options.

Glancing at the parts manual it looks like these arms are the same gas vs. diesel.
