With all the ball joint discussion, and the greaseable Moogs being so stongly promoted, I am curious as to whether anyone has actually put enough miles on them the be sure they won't also fail.

Being greaseable in itself doesn't seem enough of a reason that the Moogs cannot also wear and fail given the suspension design. Are they also heavier duty and built to higher specs? I have even heard that the stock ball joints were made by Moog.

I would appreciate it if those of you that have installed the Moogs would give the mileage you have put on them and if you have experienced any problems.

Thanks!

Ive not put many on mine, yes they are much, much better than the stocks. They are more HD along with being able to be greased.

Yes, they are much more stout in addition to being greasable.
