If you do not do a lot of off roading and do not have a lot of lift, the MOOG part No. K3198 is an excellent replacement part if you can find one in your area....

Hi. The ball joint on my 2006 Cherokee KJ is ripped and I was wondering if that could replaced, or am I better of getting new control arms. Any help would be welcome. Kj75 |

The stock UCA ball joint is non replaceable so a new unit is needed. The JBA aftermarket arms have replaceable ball joints however, something to look into. |

In that case I am better of getting JBA UCA as suggested, as it seems to be well built and ball joint can be replaced. |

I think it depends on how you plan to use your KJ. If yours is lifted and you actually do some off-roading, then yes, the JBA arms are an excellent choice. For mine, it only has a mild 1 inch lift with stock springs and is used mostly on the highways. So I went with stock replacement upper control arms. But I did find on rockauto.com some upper arms with a greasable ball joint. So hopefully these will hold up better now that I can actually add some grease to them. |

I second what Flash said on Rock Auto and grease-able joint. |

I went with the Moog UCA's mentioned above. They looked to be identical to the factory arms. |

I ended up getting a pair of control arms for $170 AUD. Would have loved getting the JBA but $700 AUD is just too much. I will be upgrading to a 40mm lift kit from TJM XGS Gold. |
