Mine had to be replaced at less than 10,000 but I'm also sittin on 44's which arent very good for ball joints. Wish they still put kingppins in the front end instead of balljoints. But anyway had mine replaced with Moog parts and those have zerk fittiings so they can be greased. I've got just over 39,000 on the new ones and they still seem to be fine so far.

Are the factory ball joints sealed with no zerks? All my ball joints have zerks so I'm sure they've been done at some point before I bought it. I know i'll go with Moog's when I do mine here soon.

The joints I believe are original - no zerks. Yea, I like Moog, sounds like a plan. I did check the ball joints; they are still tight. I will probably let them go for a bit either until the time comes to change tires or I can see where they are loose. Thank you for all of the help, guys. I am learning a lot here. I hope I am contributing just a little in return.

Good deal William! We're happy to provide assistance. Check those puppies every month or so. It's a pain to get the jack out and do it but at least you'll find it right away!
