Who makes quality lower ball joints?

Don’t waste your money on dried up ancient NOS who knows how old ball joints that will need brand new boots the moment they hit the road or worse.

No one. The cups are all plastic now verses the metal on the older USA made style. That is why I saved every old ball joint on every car if they were tight.

Take the boot off and look at the cup. most all are plastic. Yes even the new made with china parts assembled in USA moog.


The Proforged ball joints use metal cups and are greasable.

It’s in their advertising -

“Proforged Ball Joints generally utilize forged SAE4140 steel for the ball stud and forged SAE1045 for the housings, a combination that yields incredible strength and toughness. Proforged ball joints are available for nearly every year, make, and model vehicle found on the road today.

And you can see it when you pop the boot off. Maybe not well enough in the pictures to make believers out of the skeptics, but it’s easy to see when you’re looking at it that everything in there is metal, as is claimed by Proforged.
