Are these OE for our trucks? Any feedback on them would be appreciated.

I installed the Carli ball joints about 60,000 miles ago. And they are still tight.

I have Dynatrac ball joints in my truck. After about 140k miles I rebuilt them, tops were still tight bottoms were loose. For about $195 you can get the rebuild kit for all four ball joints and do the work without having to remove them from the axle, very pleased with this product.

Where do EMF balljoints fall on the good, better, best rating of possible replacements?

Tried all weekend to get the hubs off with no luck. Took it to a local shop and it took them 3 days to get the hubs off. Them suckers were on there. Also put 2 new skf hubs on.

When I replaced my ball joints. I had to use a 7" fiber cut off wheel and cut the studs on the ball joints because I couldn't remove the unit bearings. Once I got the steering knuckle out and on the ground. i used a sledge hammer to knock the unit bearings out. :roll:

Why would you replace junk with the same junk?
