Mevotech Ball Joints and Tie Rods??

[duramaxdiesel]

I need to do the front end on my LMM. Upper, lower ball joints and inner and Outter tie rods. What is everyone's experience with them? Upon doing some digging, I found a few threads where people were saying that the ball joints at least, are the same as Kryptonite. I have a very hard time believing that but in this day and age anything is possible.

So before I put my order in, I'd be curious as to what you guys have to say.

Thanks!

I've heard the same. I love my hd tie rods from dmax store. I've heard good things about moog problem solvers. I had a thread here the other day for upper control arms. Check it out

Mevotech TTX = kryptonite. I use them in my lowers. Been on 30k and good so far.
