I just replaced the ball joints for the 3rd time this weeked. Now I expect them to wear because im on 33s and I wheel it. But the thing is its only been on the passenger side. I have never replaed the driver side, they might be loose and could use replacing but they have no play, unlike the passenger side that had seperation at the upper and lower when prying up on the tire. Nice thing is that they are moog and they have a lifetime warrenty so I just keep getting new ones for free. But my question is any one have an idea why I keep blowing thru just passenger sides?

What backspace are you running?

I see where you're going with this, but it would affect both sides unless he's running different backspacing on each side.
maybe, depends on how and how much it's bent. It could be the knuckle as well. Somewhere though I'm willing to bet that the pieces that mate together at the balljoints are not as they should be.

With the exception of installing "cheap" unit bearings.Most here prefer Timken over all the rest.
Pre-mature wear can also be the result of not having been torqued to spec.
