Have you tried the moog serviceable BJs? Always better to upgrade rather than to replace with proven failures :2cents:

This was a moog that failed! It's fixed already :) $350.00 for a new CV, and new LBJ... I hate the fact that there is snow on the ground... Or I would have fixed it in my driveway...

Was it the K3199 MOOG? And if it was did you actually grease them every oil change?


When I was still IFS I had the K3199 MOOG's and greased them every 3k,after over 50k on them they still had zero play.

I'm gonna have to say that this was probably my own fault for not greasing the ball joints as often as I should have... I'm going to buy 2 new knuckles and 2 new moog ball joints and just have at it...
