How long did they last?

My truck has ~45K and the ball joints in the driver side have begun popping like an old man's knees every time I brake. I've never had a vehicle lose the joints so soon.

Is it normal to lose the ball joints every 45K?

When I have them replaced are there any suggestions where I can get replacements with grease fittings?

Get moog lifetime parts. i got about 80k out of the stockers on my 01

make sure its actually the balljoints and not the sway bar end link bushings..when they go bad they will pop.

MOOG all the way.

I can't see any wear from just looking at the bushings.
If I jack up the front end and am able to wiggle the tire at the bottom is that ball joints or sway bar?

Part of my commute involves a high speed ramp that merges the bypass back on the beltline. I'm usually running at the edge of traction so theres a tremendous side load on the vehicle. I never worried about it before but maybe that's been accelerating the issue.
