people are gonna talk up the Moogs i do believe.

i'm not a fan of 100$/piece ball joints.  i saw Pooks 'moogs' grenade themselves in a year on a stock cherokee.  they are life time warranty though.

i am running the cheap ones from autovalue. was like, 100$ for all four........ that said, i carry a spare set with me on the trail.  so far though, they're holding up.........  if i had the coin at the time i probably would have done moogs cause many people swear by them........ but i also did bearings, ujoints etc at the time. it got costly quick.

Look up the XRF ones. Good price, heavier duty than Moog and they stand up to 35's no problem. I know a few people with them and they love them.

Maybe you could check on tie rod ends too. They are for a 1989 grand waggy axle.
