Ball Joints. Suggestions on brand ?

Is the clunk from worn ball joints, or from another issue ?

I don't buy any cheap crappy Chinese clone parts that have a "Lifetime Warranty".

Nothing else seems loose but the upper ball joints. A year ago, when I bought the xj, all four were worn out. Replaced all four with Moog and the uppers started clunking within a couple months. Replaced all four with Spicer and got six months out of those. My xj is stock and not lifted. Just a DD in the country so a fair amount of dirt roads when not on pavement.

It's an easy enough job, but I'd like to do it less often than twice a year.

I'm torn whether I should give Spicer another try (got them from Summit) or get something higher end.

I purchased Spicer from Amazon and have had good luck so far. Approx 10k miles on 31 mudders with 3 inch lift.... I'm about to install the same into my stock daily as well.

I've learned my lesson on ball joints.

Buy once, cry once.
