I didn't expect them to go this soon, 52k miles, but my last highway trip my truck (05 F150 Screw) was wandering really bad. Usually it drives like it is on rails. I took it in for an alignment and it turned out my lower ball joints were shot. They installed Moog greasable ones now, so hopefully they last till the end of my lease. Are the moog products any good?

 
Yes, BUT just be careful when greasing them... THE boots are sealed so if you over grease them you can pop the dust boot and the joint is shot.... You just grease them until the boot just starts to puff up......

Thanks Todd, how often should I grease? Once an oil change?
 
If the boot is puffed up, do not grease them..... Just look at them at each oil change,....

Thanks Todd, I greatly appreciate your advice.
