Yep I think they are bad.
When I turn left or right, almost all the way, they pop.
Replacing them need be done?

I'd wager a yes on that. Replace them with the greaseable MOOG's and you'll be good to go.

how much? and where do I get them?

parts stores or JBA has them as well I think, all about the same price. Make sure you get greaseable ones as both have the same part number or did

not all greasables are the same. When i searched for moog k3199 at napa, i was handed a balljoint that had teh grease fiting in the traditional place...useless. The CV shaft prevents keeping the grease fitting in place. Basically, you install the joint, grease it, then pull the fitting off and put a plug in it, then assemble teh front end.

The grease fitting must come in from the side of the joint. the Moog K3199, so far, is the only joint with the grease fitting in teh proper place.

RockAuto has them
Jeepin-by-Al has them.

Sorry I guess I just assumed that everyone had enough common sense to look and make sure they were the side entry for the grease fitting :mrgreen:
