Bolt-in Upper Ball Joint Question

[kazuaki]

I've got Cognito upper control arms (the original tubular ones with dual shock mount) on my 2006. My upper ball joints are due for replacement. What are the best ones available now? I thought that Kryptonite made good ones, but they don't seem to be available. My truck isn't seriously cranked, but I use it offroad a fair amount and the upper ball joints seem to take a beating.

Thanks

I got moog replacements for the same arms from summit racing.

Do you have dual shocks? And yes, they will not last on a seriously cranked front end.

Go to napa and get the ncp 260-1313. Lifetime warranty and better than the junk cognitio sends

i got moog as well but they were not the right ones(my 2009 chev w 6"lift and tubes w dual shocks), called everybody in the world , all the guys at 4 wheel jeep center got together and the vote was i had a bullit proof lift, WRONG , they didnt work either, couldnt find the damn correct uppers , then ran across a great deal on a Denali so i traded her in hahahahaahah not my prob anymore :woott::woott:

I do not have dual shocks. I have Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks. My front end is not very cranked at all, it is lower than the rear of the truck still.

No dual shocks is good. You say in your first post it’s “seriously cranked” so that’s why I figured it was and hurting joints.

Run those ncp joints and you will be good.

My bad, I meant to say it is NOT seriously cranked. It was a typo

Are these joints good for stock UCAs as well? I think I need to replace mine on my 02.

found this thread in the search....how do these napa ones compare to the kryptonite?(was looking at their upper and lower kit) I need upper ball joints, my stock cognitos with the T bars cranked way up made it 3 years/25k, i have it lowered down now, just want something better than what the cognitos had

It’s all I’ve ran. Lifetime warranty and easy to get if one goes. I get 50-60k out of them.

Nice, so the warranty covers wear on them?

went and picked up a set, talked to the guy at napa, said if i bring it back in a couple years wore out, with the receipt, they will replace it.
